Direct pulp capping treatment: a long-term follow-up.

E W Haskell, H R Stanley, J Chellemi

    Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pulp capping procedures show high success rates, with 87.3% of teeth remaining vital over 11 years post-treatment. Current criteria for pulp capping need revision, as tooth size and patient age are not limiting factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Dental Pulp Biology

    Background:

    • Pulp capping is a dental procedure to preserve pulp vitality.
    • Established criteria for pulp capping exist, often considering patient age and tooth size.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term success of pulp capping procedures.
    • To reassess the validity of current criteria for pulp capping.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 356 pulp capping cases over 25 years.
    • Follow-up analysis of 149 cases with post-treatment intervals exceeding five years.

    Main Results:

    • 87.3% of recalled teeth (130 out of 149) remained vital and functional.
    • The average post-treatment interval for vital teeth was 11.7 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulp capping demonstrates high long-term success rates.
    • Current restrictions based on tooth size and patient age for pulp capping are not supported by this data.
    • Revision of pulp capping criteria is recommended to improve treatment accessibility.
