DEEP CARIES ON MILK TEETH AND PERMANENT TEETH OF FRESH ORIGIN USING THE IPC METHOD OF TREATMENT

Abstract

Complete removal of softened dentin in the treatment of deep caries is considered very dangerous for pulp tissue [Fitzgerald et al., 1991]. Rentgenologically, ¾ of the dentin floor is considered deep caries when the depth is damaged [Bjddal. 2008]. It is possible to preserve the vitality of the pulp by stage treatment of caries. In deep caries through the IPC, all necrosed tissue is removed, except for the part that is very close to the pulp. Then, a calcium hydroxide treatment base is placed on the bottom of the pit, the pit is poured with shishaionomer filler, and the tooth is treated in one stage and restored [AAPD. 2017].
