Diagnosis of pulp status is an important clinical step to achieve success in pulp therapy technique or endodontic treatment in children. In pediatric dentistry, history of symptoms given by a child may not be reliable. Assessment of dental pulp status plays an important role. It is hoped that these guidelines will facilitate pulpal diagnosis, good decision-making and evidence-based practice for pediatric patients.DOI: http://doi.dx.org/10.3329/bjdre.v2i2.16248 Bangladesh Journal of Dental Research & Education Vol.2(2) 2012: 66-68

Direct Capping

Eugenol (mixed with zinc oxide powder) is widely used as direct capping material during pulp therapy in primary teeth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of eugenol on diverse genes involved in inflammatory and cell apoptosis processes. The regulatory effect of eugenol on the expression of inflammation and apoptotic genes was evaluated in dental pulp fibroblasts from extracted third molars, cultured under concentration of eugenol of 13 μM. Eugenol allowed the expression of inflammatory and apoptotic genes when compared with positive and negative controls. Eugenol is a proinflammatory agent when it is in direct contact with healthy tissues and behaves as an anti-inflammatory agent in tissues undergoing inflammatory/apoptotic processes, as in cases of pulp inflammation in primary teeth. These findings are relevant for dentistry, when considering the application of safer pulp treatments to grossly carious children’s teeth.

Pulp Stones

Pulp stones are foci of calcification or discrete calcifications in the dental pulp. They are frequently found on bitewing and periapical radiographs, but their occurrence in entire dentition is unusual. We are reporting four cases in which the occurrence of pulp stones ranged from their presence in just primary teeth (Cases 1 and 2) to involvement of young permanent teeth also (Case 3) and even unerupted permanent teeth (Case 4). In all the cases, dental, medical, and family histories as well as the findings from the clinical examination of the patient were not contributory. Histopathological report revealed true denticle. Metabolic evaluation of patients through liver function test, kidney function test, and blood investigation did not show any metabolic disorders. Patients were also evaluated for any systemic, syndromic, or genetic involvement, but this was also noncontributing. Therefore, it is suggested that these unusual cases may be of idiopathic origin.

Pulpectomy is a procedure done for non-vital teeth which involves the extirpation of pulp from primary teeth and filling it with an inert substance. pulpectomy requires biomechanical preparation, but this biomechanical preparation alone is insufficient. Irrigants are used during this procedure for the purpose of lubrication, disinfection and washing away action. These irrigants penetrate the smaller accessory and lateral canals, thereby cleaning and disinfecting them. It is essential to eradicate the microorganisms and their by products from the root canal and pulp chamber. The aim of this study is to evaluate the most common irrigants used during pulp therapy in primary teeth by south indian dentists. Data was collected and tabulated. The collected data was further analyzed, recorded in Microsoft excel software and was subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS statistics analyzer. The total sample size of the current study was 2400 cases. The most common age group of the patients who reported to the clinics were 0 to 5 years of age (69.1 %) (p < 0.05 - significant). The more common gender for using saline as an irrigant were male (57.7 %) (p < 0.05 - significant). We found that saline was the most commonly used irrigant (58.7 %), while sodium hypochlorite was the least commonly used (0.1 %). The most common visit for using saline as an irrigant were single visit (p < 0.05 - significant) followed by multi-visit. Within the limitations of the current study, saline was the most commonly used and sodium hypochlorite was the least commonly used for pulpectomy procedure in primary teeth. Saline was also commonly preferred for single visit in patients in the age group of 0 to 5 years.
