Many materials have been used for pulp treatment in primary teeth, but not many of them are extensively supported in the dental literature. In recent years, new materials have been introduced along with new procedures, and these will be reviewed in this article. Many of these new materials have shown promising results in the short run but can only be thoroughly evaluated after longer use and more extensive applications. There is clearly a need for long‐term studies to identify the best materials for pulp treatment of primary teeth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
