A pulp cap is the placement of a medicated dressing over an exposed dental pulp. It works for pulps that are otherwise healthy. The medication protects the remaining vital pulp and stimulates it to produce a layer or reparative dentin. A successful pulp cap can avoid root canal treatment. But if the pulp is diseased (inflamed, infected by bacteria, or partially necrotic) a root canal is the treatment of choice.
