Direct pulp capping treatment: a long-term follow-up



EW Haskell, HR Stanley, J Chellemi, and H Stringfellow

In reviewing 356 instances of pulp capping during the past 25 years, 149 cases were recalled with posttreatment intervals greater than five years. One hundred thirty teeth (87.3%) were still vital and functioning with an average posttreatment interval of 11.7 years. The criteria for pulp capping procedures are in need of revision. Restrictions based on tooth size and age of the patient are unfounded.
