Procedure of Bioactive Endodontics

Vital pulp cryotherapy is performed when a carious lesion is removed from a tooth and there is direct or indirect exposure of the dental pulp.

   Patient should be anesthetized first.
The cryotherapy portion of treatment involves placing sterile ice on the exposed tooth pulp.

It takes 10 to 15 minutes. It is done only in a vital tooth.

The application of ice lowers the temperature of the tooth s blood and nerve supply and this reduces inflammation and post treatment pain.
After performing cryotherapy it is important to do 17%EDTA irrigation a bio ceramic material is then 
placed over the pulp. Then the tooth is restored with a permanent restoration.

Limitation

It cannot be performed on a a necrotic or partially necrotic pulps.

Vital pulp cryotherapy

Vital pulp cryotherapy is performed when a carious lesion  is removed from a tooth and  there is direct or indirect exposure of the dental pulp.

Cryotherapy reduces nerve pain response,inflammation and hemorrhaging, and can help reduce  a patient's need for post operative pain medications.

Cryotherapy is used to reduce pain and swelling after soft tissue management or surgery.

Dental awareness

Part 1 -
Dental awareness is the least bothered topic
In our country.

Everybody eagerly talks about health.
But when you peep in to tooth talks it's not
Given any value or importance.

Remember mouth is the starting point through which food enters in to  your body.
Oral hygiene and health is a serious concern that needs to be addressed and taken care of.
