This case report presents the successful application of diode laser technology in the management of a pulp polyp in a primary molar, showcasing its efficacy in both excision of the proliferative tissue and subsequent canal disinfection. An eight-year-old patient with a symptomatic primary molar exhibiting a pulp polyp was selected for this intervention. The diode laser, with its specific wavelength and precise tissue interaction, allowed for a minimally invasive and efficient removal of the pulp polyp. Additionally, the laser was utilized for thorough disinfection of the root canals, targeting bacterial pathogens while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. The case was monitored over a three-month follow-up period, demonstrating favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes. This report emphasizes the potential of diode laser technology as a feasible adjunct in the treatment of pulp polyps in primary molars, showcasing its benefits in terms of reduced invasiveness, enhanced precision, and effective canal disinfection in pediatric endodontics.

Seven teeth extracted from two adult California sea lions () due to pulp exposure and/or to gain access to the mandibular canine teeth were histologically evaluated, and the findings were compared with clinical and radiographic findings. Three teeth were diagnosed with pulp exposure, and two of these showed no radiographic signs of endodontic disease and were histologically vital with prominent coronal pulpitis and a pulp polyp. Another tooth with pulp exposure was showing clinical and radiographic signs of endodontic disease and was histologically confirmed with pulp necrosis.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between radiographically and macroscopically well-defined carious lesions and the dentine-pulp complex with regard to: (i) level of bacterial penetration; (ii) inflammatory status including the presence of hyperplastic pulp stroma; and (iii) formation of hard and/or ectopic connective tissue.
Methodology: The material comprised 68 untreated cavitated permanent teeth divided into well-defined radiographic categories based on the lesion penetration depth: (i) deep lesions ( ≥3/4 of the dentine thickness with a radio-dense zone separating the lesion from the pulp) and (ii) extremely deep lesions (the carious lesion penetrated the entire thickness of the dentine, without a radio-dense zone). After extraction, the teeth were processed for histology.

Root canal therapy (RCT) is a common and successful treatment for irreversible pulpitis due to carious pulp exposure in mature permanent teeth. However, it is often an expensive procedure, may require multiple appointments, and requires a high level of training and clinical skill, specifically in molars. Uninsured patients, low-income patients, and patients with limited access to specialist care often elect for extraction of restorable teeth with irreversible pulpitis.

Complicated crown fracture and crown-root fracture with pulp involvement expose dental pulp to the oral environment. The pulp outcome is often unpredictable because the patient and injury which are related to variables can influence the treatment of choice and the prognosis of the case. This report presents the case of a 4-year-old boy with complicated crown fracture with pulp polyp in the primary right maxillary central incisor and crown-root fracture with pulp involvement in the primary left maxillary central incisor , which was treated only 3 months after the tooth injuries.
