In addition to these, in primary teeth it is important to preserve the tooth until its natural exfoliation time, thus preserving arch integrity (2). For example, when a decay or trauma has extensively damaged the tooth structure, vital pulp therapy is not advisable. Most of the diagnostic tests used in conventional endodontic therapy are of very little or no value in primary teeth and of limited value in permanent immature teeth. 0000066614 00000 n Many materials have been used for pulp treatment in primary teeth, but not many of them are extensively supported in the dental literature. Vital pulp therapy is performed to preserve the health status of the tooth and its ultimate position in the arch for the expected life of the tooth. %PDF-1.4 %���� Paul K.
