Diagnostic Criteria for the Treatment of Caries-Induced Pulpitis.
Abstract
Clinical findings from histories, tests and radiographs were compared with the histologic assessments of pulp disease in 171 teeth. Eighty-eight percent of the samples had deep caries. No dental pulp necrosis was observed in teeth having caries penetration through less than three-fourths the dentin thickness. Clinical criteria for selection of conservative pulp treatment or pulpectomy were compiled from clinical responses with the highest predictive values of reversibility of dental pulp disease, as judged from the histologic assessments.
