COMPLEX PULP THERAPY
https://t.me/medicina_free
• However, there is disagreement among clinicians about the utility of pulpectomy procedures in primary teeth. Difficulty in the preparation of primary root canals that have complex and variable morphologic features and the uncertainty about teeth with gross loss of root structure; advanced internal or external or periapical resorption; and the effect of instrumentation, medication, and filling materials on developing succedaneous teeth dissuade some clinicians from using the technique. The behavior management problems that sometimes occur in pediatric patients have surely added to the reluctance among some dentists to perform RCT in primary teeth. These problems notwithstanding, the success of pulpectomies in primary teeth has led most pediatric dentists to prefer them to the alternative of extractions and space maintenance
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Root Canal Treatment inPrimary Molars
• RCT can be performed in primary molars with irreversible pulpitis, determined as continuous bleeding exceeding five minutes or pulp necrosis. Radiographic periapical or interradicular radiolucencies, without involvement of the follicle of the permanent tooth, are considered indications for RCT. The same is true for teeth with internal resorption without perforation and for those with external resorption not involving the permanent tooth follicle, as long as more than two‐thirds of the root is intact (Moskovitz and Tickotsky 2016)
Technique
• RCT is usually completed in one visit. Under local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation, caries are removed and access to the pulp chamber is gained. The inflamed or necrotic pulp is then removed and mechanical preparation of the canal is performed using a series of 21mm K‐type endodontic files (Unitek Corp., Monrovia, CA) up to file no. 30. The working length is estimated from the preoperative radiograph. The root canals are then irrigated with alternating chlorhexidine or sodium hypochloride and saline, and dried with paper points. Because the morphology of the root canal system in primary teeth is extremely complex and difficult to clean mechanically, chemical disinfection is more effective
• Certain clinical situations may justify pulpectomy even with the knowledge that the prognosis may not be ideal. An example of such a case is pulp destruction of a primary second molar that occurs before the first permanent molar erupts. A premature extraction of the primary second molar without placement of a space maintainer usually results in mesial eruption of the first permanent molar with subsequent loss of space for the second premolar. Although a distal shoe space maintainer could be used, maintaining the natural tooth is definitely the treatment of choice. Therefore, a pulpectomy in a primary second molar is preferable, even if that tooth is maintained only until the first permanent molar has adequately erupted and is followed eventually by extraction of the primary second molar and placement of a space maintainer (Fuks etal. 2019)
• A root canal filling material containing iodoform is introduced into the root canal using a lentulo spiral mounted on a slow speed handpiece, and the teeth are sealed with reinforced zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE)
• A postoperative radiograph is taken after each treatment to determine the extent of the filling material in the canals. Overfilling canals tend to result in more failures of the RCT
• The patient is asked to return up to one month later for coronal restoration. In the absence of clinical
primary molars are restored with an amalgam, glass ionomer, or composite restoration if sufficient tooth structure remains to allow retention of the restoration. Otherwise, a crown is used. The estimated time left until natural shedding, determined by the extent of physiologic root resorption, also may influence the type of restoration to be placed
Evaluation ofRCT
• Patients should return every six months for recall examinations in which the root‐treated molars are evaluated clinically and radiographically. RCT is considered successful if the tooth is painless and presents healthy surrounding soft tissues and normal mobility, and if radiographs show decrease or no change in the pre‐existing pathologic radiolucent defects. The treatment is considered a failure when pre‐existing radiolucent defects grow in size or new defects appear (Smaïl‐Faugeron etal. 2013)

O. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• Enlargement of a previously existing periapical or interradicular radiolucency and the development of a new lesion in a tooth without a preoperative pathologic radiolucency are real failures and should eventually be extracted. However, in cases in which the preoperative radiolucency remains unchanged, the patient should be recalled in six months for re‐evaluation. Unsuccessful RCT in a primary tooth may result in its premature exfoliation due to pathologic root resorption that can be followed by premature eruption of the permanent successor. Cystic lesions have been described less frequently as complications of primary RCTs
• The dentigerous cyst is an uncommon complication of RCT in primary molars. The cystic lesion in Figure3.4.6 was observed six and a half years after the successful endodontic treatment presented above. Extraction of the exfoliating primary molar and marsupialization of the cyst resulted in normal eruption and occlusion of the permanent premolar

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Partial Pulpotomy forYoung Permanent PosteriorTeeth
• A partial pulpotomy is indicated in a young permanent tooth for a small (<2 mm) carious exposure in which the pulpal bleeding can be controlled in one to two minutes. The tooth mustbe vital, with a diagnosis of normal pulp orreversible pulpitis. The procedure is usually reserved for teeth with little or no history of pain,absence of radiographic signs of pathology, percussion sensitivity, swelling, or mobility
(American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry [AAPD] 2018–2019)
• The procedure involves the removal of pulp tissue beneath the exposure site judged to be inflamed (usually 1–3 mm) to reach healthy tissue below. Pulpal bleeding must be controlled quickly and the

site should be covered with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), followed by a restoration that seals the tooth from microleakage (Chailertvanitkul etal. 2014)
• Before initiating treatment, it is critical to evaluate the degree of pulp inflammation in an attempt to distinguish between reversible and irreversible pulpitis. Vital pulp therapy in permanent teeth with history of pain has traditionally been considered contraindicated. Although the correlation between clinical and histologic evaluation is poor, young permanent teeth are good candidates for this conservative treatment because their rich blood supply enhances healing ability. Because the loss of the pulp in immature teeth can complicate treatment, it seems advisable to attempt the partialpulpotomy procedure. If failure occurs, apexification can be attempted (Camp and Fuks2006)

M. Radiographic Follow‐Up
• Postoperative radiographs at nine months (Figure3.5.3): a dentin bridge can be seen under the amputated pulp horn in the mandibular right permanent first molar (arrow). The two left mandibular primary molars were treated with pulpotomies followed by stainless steel crowns, and the maxillary left primary second molar was extracted
• Postoperative radiographs at 3 years, 10 months (Figure3.5.4): in the mandibular right first permanent molar the pulp appears within normal limits but there are signs of breakdown of the restoration
• Postoperative radiograph at four years, nine months (Figure3.5.5): the pulp still appears sound but the restoration has now been replaced with a stainless steel crown
Prognosis andDiscussion

Mejare and Cvek (1993) reported a success rate of
91% in cases with no clinical or radiographic signs of pathology after a follow‐up of 24–140 months. The same study reported that four of six cases with temporary pain and radiographic signs of minor periapical involvement responded successfully. Another study (Mass and Zilberman 1993) also reported a success rate of 91% in 35 cases followed for 12–48 months
Cvek and colleagues (1978, 1982) have reported 96%
• success with pulp capping and pulpotomy using Ca(OH)
on traumatically exposed permanent pulps.

The size of the exposure or time between injury and treatment was not critical as long as the superficially inflamed pulp tissue was removed before capping. These studies included both mature teeth and teeth with immature roots. Subsequent investigations have verified these findings
• Histological examination of pulps from teeth successfully treated with partial pulpotomy and removed for restorative purposes showed no significant pathological changes (Cvek etal. 1982)
O. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• Unsuccessful partial pulpotomy in an immature permanent molar might result in pulp necrosis and eventually a periapical abscess. These cases must be followed by an apexification or apical barrier
