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

The goal of pulp therapy in the primary dentition is to retain the primary tooth as a fully functional part of the dentition, allowing at the same time for mastication, phonation, swallowing, and the preservation of the space required for the eruption of the permanent 1,2 tooth . The premature loss of primary teeth may cause changes in the chronology and sequence of eruption permanent teeth. Maintenance of primary teeth until physiological exfoliation prevents deleterious 3 habits in children .

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.

Resumen La terapia pulpar en dientes deciduos es un procedimiento que acarrea muchas controversias en la Odontología pediátrica, especialmente si se trata de una pulpa dental viva; ya que el formocresol ha sido en los últimos 70 años el material más utilizado para tratamientos de pulpotomias. A pesar de los buenos resultados clínicos y radiográficos que encontramos con el formocresol; es un tema de discusión la toxicidad y el potencial mutagénico de este material. Por lo tanto, la introducción de biomateriales en tratamientos pulpares como el MTA; que es un material totalmente biocompatible y con una alta tasa de éxito en tratamientos pulpares con pulpa vital, se debe tomar en cuenta para futuros protocolos. Muchos estudios demuestran que tiene mejor rendimiento que el formocresol, hidróxido de calcio y sulfato férrico. Por todas estas cualidades el MTA puede ser el agente preferido en el futuro. El presente estudio muestra reportes de casos de tratamientos pulpares con MTA en pacientes que son atendidos en el servicio de odontopediatría de la Clínica Odontológica de la Universidad Científica del Sur. Palabras Clave: Pulpotomía, MTA, RPD. Abstract Pulp therapy in primary teeth is one of the most controversial areas in pediatric dentistry. Especially the vital pulp treatment, where formocresol has been, for the last 70 years, the most widely use substance. Even with the acceptable clinical and radiographic results, some concerns about formocresol¨s toxicity and potencial mutagenicity from sistemic contamination are raised by some authors. Therefore the use of biomaterials in pulp therapy like MTA; which is a material with high biocompatibility and success must be considered in future protocols. Many studies support MTA and in comparison with formocresol, calcium hydroxyde and fecrric sulfate for pulpotomy treatments MTA has high rates clinically and radiographic The present study is a Case Reports of two children whoo are treated in the pediatric dentistry service of the Clinica Odontológica Científica del Sur. The diagnostic process and the treatment given to patients is described. Keywords: Pulpotomy, MTA, DPC

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Gilead et al. offer a thoughtful and much-needed treatment of abstraction. However, it fails to build on an extensive literature on abstraction, representational diversity, neurocognition, and psychopathology that provides important constraints and alternative evidence-based conceptions. We draw on conceptions in software engineering, socio-technical systems engineering, and a neurocognitive theory with abstract representations of gist at its core, fuzzy-trace theory.

Evidence-based practice requires astute clinicians to blend our best clinical judgment with the best available external evidence and the patient's own values and expectations. Sometimes, we value one more than another during clinical decision-making, though it is never wise to do so, and sometimes other factors that we are unaware of produce unanticipated clinical outcomes. Sometimes, we feel very strongly about one clinical method or another, and hopefully that belief is founded in evidence. Some beliefs, however, are not founded in evidence. The sound use of evidence is the best way to navigate the debates within our field of practice.
