Abstract:
This second update paper aims to provide a review of changes and developments that have occurred within the field of pulp therapy for primary teeth since the publication of the BDJ's series and textbook A clinical guide to endodontics. The biological basis of pulp therapy is an area where much recent research has taken place, particularly linked to the healing capacity of pulp tissue. This has lead to the adoption of treatment techniques aimed at maintaining pulp vitality. Such techniques are introduced here as a more contemporary, biological approach to pulp management in the primary dentition.
