The ideal goal of pulpotomy procedure in a primary tooth is to maintain space length, preserve masticatory function, and remove infection and chronic inflammation from the oral cavity. From a population of 150 patients between the ages of four and seven years, we collected a sample of 30 primary (nine maxillary and twenty-one mandibular) molars used in this investigation. The aim was to observe the presence of accessory channels on the pulpal floor; they were found in twenty-one of the thirty teeth examined. The scanning electron microscope proved to be an excellent means of evaluating the pulpal floor, where failure of pulp treatment often has its cause.

Abstract

The ideal goal of pulpotomy procedure in a primary tooth is to maintain space length, preserve masticatory function, and remove infection and chronic inflammation from the oral cavity. From a population of 150 patients between the ages of four and seven years, we collected a sample of 30 primary (nine maxillary and twenty-one mandibular) molars used in this investigation. The aim was to observe the presence of accessory channels on the pulpal floor; they were found in twenty-one of the thirty teeth examined. The scanning electron microscope proved to be an excellent means of evaluating the pulpal floor, where failure of pulp treatment often has its cause.
