Mr. Chen, 22, went to the hospital for dental treatment because his teeth were not easy to cause deep caries. Dentists used vital pulp therapy to treat the inflammation and exposure of dental pulp nerve, and used rubber tent to isolate and protect dental caries, which successfully preserved the activity of dental pulp nerve and completed the restoration of teeth. The doctor reminded that the fundamental attitude towards dental caries should be to improve oral health care and cleanliness. "Prevention is better than cure", and only nip in the bud is the fundamental way to maintain the integrity of tooth structure and long-term prognosis.
Limited material properties and bacterial isolation require the removal of infected dental caries and all pulp nerves.
Dr. Ji of the Department of Dentistry, Hsinchu Branch of National Taiwan University Hospital explained that when teeth are broken due to dental caries or external force, bacteria often infect pulp tissue, which easily causes spontaneous pain in patients' teeth. However, due to the problems of material properties and bacterial isolation, it is usually necessary to remove infected dental caries and all pulp nerves to reduce the risk of bacterial infection in the mouth, but it also affects the structure and strength of teeth in the mouth, thus affecting the long-term prognosis of the whole teeth.
Dental microscope improves the accuracy of dental pulp tissue diagnosis
In recent years, due to the rapid development of dental materials, materials with good biocompatibility, such as mineral trioxide aggregates or bioceramics, can protect the activity of dental pulp tissue and guide it to generate restorative dentin. Through the use of dental microscope, the accuracy of dental pulp tissue diagnosis and dental caries range is improved, and the risk of secondary infection during vital pulp treatment is effectively reduced through the use of dental isolation system, thus greatly improving the success rate of vital pulp treatment.
Non-deep caries can be treated with vital pulp. Preoperative evaluation is very important.
Dr. Ji Wenzhi further said that international research shows that the success rate of vital pulp therapy has achieved remarkable results, but the preoperative evaluation of clinical cases and professional judgment and technical consideration in the treatment process are still a big hurdle. Not all deep caries can be successfully treated with vital pulp, but it is necessary to have a diagnosis of vital pulp activity before operation, evaluate the extension of dental caries and the good isolation effect, accurately grasp the position of pulpitis and dental caries invasion during operation, and realize accurate vital pulp treatment.
