Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pulpotomies are usually the treatment of choice for vital primary teeth where the removal of deep caries may lead to pulp exposure. These procedures entail removal of the inflamed coronal pulp, application of a pulp capping material, and preservation of the vitality of the radicular pulp. Inaccurate diagnosis or defective restorations may lead to failure of pulpotomies and consequent apical inflammation and cyst formation. The spread of apical inflammatory lesions affecting deciduous canines to the periodontal tissues can cause displacement and impaction of the permanent successor tooth. As this is a serious side effect of pulpotomies, precise diagnosis and long-term follow-up are required before and after the treatment. This case study presents three patients with canine impaction caused by unsuccessful pulpotomy of the deciduous canine.
