Kevin R. Allen

Open publisher page 33 citations

Abstract

Endodontic treatment of primary teeth is undertaken by indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, formocresol pulpotomy and pulpectomy. The same treatment principles apply to both primary and permanent teeth with infected or necrotic pulps. The main differences are the use of formocresol for root canal medication and a resorbably zinc-oxide and eugenol paste for root canal obturation.
