    Author: Ram D, Holan G.
    Journal: Pediatr Dent; 1994; 16(1):44-8. PubMed ID: 8015942.
    Abstract:
    Crown fracture with pulp exposure in primary incisors is a rare condition. Despite the fact that the vitality of the pulp can be preserved, such teeth are usually extracted due to lack of patient cooperation. This article reports a successful conservative treatment of a fractured primary incisors with pulp exposure and undeveloped root. The child was sedated with midazolam and nitrous oxide, and partial pulpotomy was performed using calcium hydroxide. Follow-up radiographs 21 weeks later revealed closure of the apex and apposition of a dentin bridge close to the amputation site.
