Pulpectomy and Pulpotomy: Saving Young Teeth

When cavities or infections affect the pulp (the innermost part of a tooth) in children, timely intervention is crucial to preserve the tooth and prevent further complications.

• Pulpectomy: A pulpectomy is a procedure similar to a root canal in adults, but designed specifically for primary (baby) teeth. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning the root canals, and filling them with a biocompatible material to maintain the tooth until it naturally falls out.

• Pulpotomy: A pulpotomy is a partial pulp removal procedure performed when the infection or decay is limited to the upper portion of the pulp chamber. After removing the affected tissue, a medicated dressing is applied to promote healing, and the tooth is then restored with a crown for long-term protection.

Stainless Steel Crowns: Durable Protection for Young Teeth

For primary teeth that have undergone pulpectomy or have extensive decay, stainless steel crowns (SSCs) offer a durable and effective solution. These pre-fabricated crowns:

• Provide long-lasting protection.

• Maintain proper chewing function.

• Preserve space for the permanent tooth.

• Are especially useful for children prone to cavities.

SSCs are a gold standard in pediatric dentistry due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness.

Recent Innovations in Pediatric Dentistry

Modern advancements in pediatric dental care have made treatments more comfortable, effective, and aesthetically pleasing. Some of the latest innovations include:

• Zirconia Crowns: Aesthetic alternatives to stainless steel crowns, these tooth-coloredcrowns provide strength and a natural appearance, ideal for front and back teeth.

• Resin Infiltration (ICON Technique): A minimally invasive technique to treat early cavities and white spot lesions without drilling or anesthesia.

• Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): A painless, non-invasive liquid applied to cavities to halt decay progression, often used for very young or anxious children.

• Bioceramic Pulp Therapies: Advanced biocompatible materials like MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) and Biodentine enhance pulpotomy success rates and promote natural healing.

At Gloss Dental Studio, we are committed to providing the highest standard of pediatricdental care using the latest technology and child-friendly approaches. Our team ensures a stress-free and comfortable experience for your child, helping them develop healthy oral habits that last a lifetime.
