Description
Murad Alrashdi and co-authors ask whether cleaning out a baby tooth's pulp before capping it changes how long the cap lasts, in a 2024 study. Ready-made zirconia crowns are favored for young children's teeth for looks and grip, but their stiff fit can expose the pulp during shaping. The pulp step, a pulpotomy, is sometimes done first.
Charts covered 81 upper front baby teeth in children aged two to five, checked every six months for two years. Teeth with and without the pulp step fared the same: success rates and survival curves showed no real gap. The authors conclude the pulpotomy step did not move crown success within two years, which may spare some children an extra procedure.
