What Is The Procedure Of Pulp Therapy For Dental Caries?
Respected doctor, my son has dental caries of front four upper tooth, doctor told that he requires pulp therapy, my queries are how long will it take, is doing under general anesthesia good, after pulp therapy will they place an artificial teeth,
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The front teeth can be restored with RCT under local anesthesia if your child is cooperative. If your child is not cooperative then it can be done under general anesthesia. If the teeth are permanent teeth then after treating the teeth endodontically, it can be restored with permanent crowns(ceramic). If the teeth are deciduous teeth, then there is no need for the crowns.. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
Greetings to you! Read your query. Pulp therapy procedure is done in cases of dental caries extending up to the pulp of the tooth or it is exposed due to a traumatic event. The procedure normally is done under local anaesthesia but some patients might require general anaesthesia to avoid more visits. This may take around an hour or so. And yes they do place an artificial cap over the pulp treated tooth. So there is nothing to be worried at doing the procedure under GA. Hope this clarified your doubts. Thank you for choosing HCM
