Abstract
|
|
|
|
The left tusk of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) was splitted longitudinally and its middle portion avulsed by slip. The pulp was exposed and bled. A loosened tusk fragment continued to irritate its sulcus. We performed a partial pUlpotomy and pulp capping. We filled the wide space between the loosened tusk fragment and the counterpart with zinc oxide eugenol and zine phosphate cement but it was failed, and then we fastened the loosened tusk fragment to the counterpart by gauze and plaster. The loosened tusk fragment grew to drop 100 days after the insult and main portion with pulp capping was healthy.
