G. Vital Pulp Therapy – Dr. Ron Hill
Pulpal inflammation due to caries in teeth with incomplete root development still exists as a common problem despite improvements in dental hygiene, fluoridated water and diet. Tooth pain is the most common reason that children miss school. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) has been used more than 50 years on teeth with incomplete root development to allow for continued apex formation. Traditionally, the materials used In the process were difficult to place and had to be replaced multiple times over several appointments in the hopes that dentin bridge formation would occur. The development of bioceramic materials in the late 1990’s transformed the process, making it much easier to perform in a single visit, with predictable data-driven results that every clinician can achieve in their practice.
Educational Objectives:
- Provide a brief overview of pulp biology, particularly inflamed dental pulp caused by caries progression
- Review historical pulp capping/VPT techniques and materials and their shortcomings
- Review modern bioceramic materials and their mechanism for stimulating dentin growth
- Overview of VPT including diagnostic criteria for VPT versus RCT, and when the need for apexification / apexogenesis may be needed instead of VPT
