    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Calcium hydroxide is the preferred dressing for indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, and pulpotomy in vital immature teeth. It also aids in stimulating apical closure in necrotic immature teeth.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Endodontics
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • Maintaining pulpal vitality in immature teeth is crucial for continued root development.
    • Various endodontic treatments exist, but their efficacy in immature teeth with vital or necrotic pulps requires careful consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and recommend endodontic treatment modalities for immature teeth requiring pulpal management.
    • To highlight the role of calcium hydroxide as a dressing agent in these treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established endodontic procedures for immature teeth.
    • Discussion of treatment indications based on pulp status (vital vs. necrotic) and extent of injury.
    • Emphasis on the properties and application of calcium hydroxide.

    Main Results:

    • Indirect pulp capping is preferred over further excavation in deep caries to preserve dentine.
    • Direct pulp capping is suitable for small, recent exposures in traumatized teeth.
    • Pulpotomy is indicated for more contaminated pulpal exposures.
    • Calcium hydroxide is consistently the dressing of choice for these vital pulp therapies.
    • For necrotic immature teeth, calcium hydroxide promotes apical closure, facilitating conventional root filling.

    Conclusions:

    • Calcium hydroxide is a versatile and effective agent for managing pulpal issues in immature teeth.
    • Treatment selection depends on the specific clinical scenario, aiming to preserve or restore root development.
    • Apical closure stimulation with calcium hydroxide is a key strategy for necrotic immature teeth.
