  • Title: Endodontic treatment in the primary dentition.
    Author: Koshy S, Love RM.
    Journal: Aust Endod J; 2004 Aug; 30(2):59-68. PubMed ID: 15378974.
    Abstract:
    A number of factors are involved in the development of pulp and periapical disease in primary and permanent teeth, with dental caries being the main factor. Although these factors are similar, the clinical management of a primary or permanent tooth with pulp or periapical disease may be quite different. This is based mainly on the differences between the two types of teeth, with primary tooth longevity, coronal structural integrity, root canal morphology, and root anatomy being important features to be taken into account when treatment planning. This paper reviews some aspects of primary teeth and the various treatment options for the management of pulp and periapical disease.
