Pulpectomy
What is a pulpectomy?
A pulpectomy can save a baby’s tooth when the nerve becomes infected. A pulpectomy is a dental operation in which the tooth’s root canal and pulp chamber are completely cleared of pulp. When the pulp becomes infected and the infection cannot be treated, this surgery is advised. The purpose of the surgery is to stop the infection from spreading from the diseased pulp, which could result in the loss of one or more teeth.
A pulpotomy is the process of removing the inflammatory pulp chamber—usually from a newborn molar—sterilizing the surrounding area, and sealing the chamber. In cases where a cavity extends very deep, causing irritation and inflammation of the pulpal tissue near or even into the pulp of the tooth. Without treatment, the infection and inflammation will eventually cause an abscess in the tooth. A pulpotomy is conducted on newborn molars in an attempt to preserve and repair the tooth. Usually using a high-speed bur or spoon excavator, the pulp chamber—the upper portion, not the root canals—is removed once the rot has been removed. In order to sanitize the area and “mummify” the pulp stumps, a little cotton ball moistened with formocresol is applied. The cotton ball is taken out after a few minutes, and the opening is often sealed with a substance like IRM that contains zinc oxide and eugenol. In order to reconstruct a baby molar after a pulpotomy, a stainless steel crown must often be placed. While pulpotomies can salvage a tooth that has already developed an abscess, their prognosis is not very favorable.
Children’s stainless steel crowns
Crowns constructed of stainless steel are designed especially for main teeth. Even badly broken teeth can be kept for chewing and space maintenance with stainless steel crowns. Primary teeth with small cavities can be filled because there is still a lot of healthy tooth structure left over after the decaying portion is removed. Nevertheless, there might not be enough tooth structure remaining to place a filling when a primary tooth has a significant cavity. Because of this, we fix big cavities in primary teeth with crowns. To strengthen and shield the injured tooth, a crown is placed over it. Primary tooth crowns are often prefabricated from stainless steel, which can be customized to fit your child’s tooth and bonded in place in only one appointment.
scenarios that call for crowns made of stainless steel
crowns on the front teeth
For the front teeth, there are several different kinds of crowns available. Toddlers’ prolonged and frequent use of feeding bottles is frequently the cause of dental cavities in them. Their teeth are typically so extensively decayed that crowns or extractions are the only options for therapy. There are various types of crowns that can be used on front teeth. Stainless steel crowns with a white acrylic face are an extremely durable and visually pleasing option. White stainless steel crowns are the best option, even in cases of deep carious cavitations on anterior teeth or when root canal therapy is required for the primary teeth.
Strip crowns are an additional option for treating cavities in the anterior teeth. The crown is constructed by these little pre-formed plastic caps. The remains of the crown is repaired by filling the strip-crowns with composite material.
space defenders
Preserving the space for the permanent teeth is a major role of the primary molars. It could be necessary to “fill” the area with an area Maintainer if the baby loses their teeth too soon.
Baby teeth are used for more than just chewing; dentists refer to them as primary or deciduous teeth. They all serve as guides for the permanent tooth that will eventually replace them. The permanent tooth loses its guidance and may drift or erupt into the mouth wrongly if a primary tooth is removed too soon. The permanent tooth cannot erupt because other teeth can also shift or slant into the opening.
removing your child’s reliance on thumb sucking
Young children’s thumb sucking is a perfectly typical reaction to stress and worry. Many kids take a while to quit the habit, which can cause parents worry. Is it worth the anxiety to stop sucking your thumb? Yes, since prolonged thumb sucking can lead to issues with speaking, chewing, and facial features.
impacts on the mandible
The more damage to a youngster’s teeth and jaws, the longer and harder the child suckers his thumb. Thumb sucking with regular force can even change the structure of the jaw bone by moving the front teeth. Lower front teeth slide back and inward, while upper front teeth flare out and tip upward. Preteens, teens, and even adults have been observed sucking on their thumbs, fingers, or blankets. All receive the same initial orthodontic therapy, which consists of placing a crib to break the habit.

scenarios that call for crowns made of stainless steel
- Serious carious lesions or deep cavities.
- Teeth with endodontic treatment.
- Enamel flaws in primary molars.
- Severely damaged permanent teeth in pediatric children as a temporary crown until “permanent crowns” made in a lab can be inserted.
