Innovative Pulp Preservation: The Use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in Treating Dental Pulp Exposure. [PDF]
CureusThe dental pulp, essential for tooth vitality, often becomes inflamed when exposed due to caries, fractures, or dislodged restorations. Untreated inflammation can lead to pulpal death, necessitating vital pulp therapies (VPTs) such as pulp capping and pulpotomy. Recent trends favor partial caries removal to avoid overtreatment and preserve pulp health.
