AI Article Synopsis
- A case study involved pulp capping on a 7-year-old boy's right first mandibular primary molar using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as the capping material.
- After one year, radiographs showed no pathological issues, and clinical exams after 18 months confirmed that the tooth remained vital.
- The study suggests that further research on the effectiveness of MTA for direct pulp capping in primary teeth is warranted.
Article Abstract
A case is presented in which pulp capping was performed on a right first mandibular primary molar in a 7-year-old male patient. An alkaline cement powder based on mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was used for pulp capping. There were no pathological findings either on a radiograph taken after one year or on clinical examination after 18 months, and the right first mandibular primary molar remained vital after capping with MTA. Further clinical investigation of MTA for direct pulp capping of primary teeth should be performed.
