Pulpotomy at Novomed Pediatric Dentistry Clinic

At Novomed Pediatric Dentistry Clinic in Dubai, we offer top-notch care and specialized treatments for children to maintain and improve their oral health. One such vital procedure provided at our clinic is Pulpotomy – a minimally invasive dental treatment that aims to preserve the health and function of primary teeth.

Understanding Pulpotomy

A pulpotomy is a dental technique mainly performed on young patients to address extensive cavities or infections infiltrating the pulp – the innermost stratum of a tooth comprising nerves and blood vessels. This procedure is often done to treat primary teeth, often called baby teeth, where safeguarding the tooth’s structural soundness is paramount to maintain oral health and ensure proper teeth development.

The primary purpose of a pulpotomy is to preserve the health and function of a primary (baby) tooth that has been affected by deep decay or infection while avoiding the need for its complete extraction. This procedure aims to remove the impaired or infected pulp material from the internal chamber of the tooth while trying to preserve the viable, healthy pulp as much as possible. By doing so, the tooth’s vitality is maintained, allowing it to continue to function in the child’s mouth until it naturally falls out, making way for the permanent tooth to emerge.

Step by Step Guide to Pulpotomy

• Diagnosis: The process begins with a thorough examination by our pediatric dentist at Novomed. They will use diagnostic tools, such as X-rays, to accurately assess the extent of pulp damage and determine the suitability of a pulpotomy.
• Anesthesia: Before the procedure, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure the child’s comfort throughout the procedure.
• Access: With meticulous precision, the dental practitioner gently extracts the areas of the tooth affected by decay, thereby establishing a pathway to the pulp chamber.
• Pulp Removal: The infected or damaged pulp tissue is gently removed from the chamber, ensuring that only the affected part is extracted. This step aims to retain as much healthy pulp as possible.
• Disinfection: The empty pulp chamber is disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria and prevent further infection.
• Medication: A specialized medication is applied to the remaining healthy pulp tissue. This medication helps calm the remaining pulp, promote healing, and reduce inflammation.
• Sealing: The dentist seals the pulp chamber with a biocompatible material to protect the treated tooth from recontamination. This prevents the intrusion of bacteria, ensuring the tooth’s longevity.
• Restoration: Depending on the extent of tooth structure lost due to decay, a restoration such as a stainless-steel crown might be placed to provide strength and durability to the treated tooth.

Through the pulpotomy procedure, dental professionals can effectively relieve the child from pain and unease resulting from infection or decay, curbing the progression of infection to adjacent regions, and contributing to the preservation of the child’s oral health. This approach promotes the natural progression of dental development, reducing the need for more invasive treatments like tooth extractions and minimizing potential long-term complications.
