In primary teeth, decay that is near the pulp (tooth nerve)is treated with either a pulpotomy
or indirect pulp treatment if the tooth is not going to be extracted A pulpotomy involves
removing the top 1/2 of the pulp, placing a medication/material on the pulp, covering the
remaining pulp with a cement, and the restoring the tooth. The purpose of this pilot study is
to gain preliminary information regarding the success of Biodentine, MTA, and IPT in the
treatment of deep decay in children's primary molars.
