What is Pulp cap and suitable for which tooth?
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.

Pulp stones have been noted in patients with systemic or genetic diseases such as dentine dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, cardiovascular disease and in certain syndromes such as Van der Woude syndrome. cause:The cause for formation of dental pulp stones may be interference in the blood and nutrition supply.
