A Note on Older Patients Suffered by Traumatic Pulp

Patrick Cahan*

After dental pulp has been damaged by trauma, caries, or restorative procedures, there are methods for Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) that can be used to keep the tissue alive and working. VPT techniques have typically used partial or complete pulpotomies, indirect or direct pulp capping, or both. During VPT, a piece of the pulp is removed, leaving the remaining portion intact and useful. Once a small piece of the superficially irritated pulp is removed, we assume that the pulp that is left is healthy.
