  • Title: Current concepts in vital pulpotomies in primary teeth.
    Author: Castro A.
    Journal: J Mich Dent Assoc; 2005 Jan; 87(1):26-8. PubMed ID: 15714830.
    Abstract:
    Vital pulpotomies in primary teeth are performed to maintain the vitality of the pulp and to hold the tooth until it can be normally exfoliated. There exists much controversy surrounding the issue of pulpotomy agents, and the ideal pulp dressing material has not yet been identified. Therefore, it seems that formocresol will still be the first choice for pulpotomies in primary teeth until such agent is identified.
