Abstract

Sometimes overzealous attempt on pert of the operator to remove last layers of pulp covering dentine during cavity formation may lead to traumatic exposure of the pulp. If uninfected this condition may be well treated by “pulp capping”. What is pulp capping, what are the results of this procedure, what is the technique of performing pulp capping, and what newer techniques are coming up like using resins instead of usual calcium-hydroxide, the brand names of such compounds are all covered in this chapter.
