CLINICAL-THERAPEUTICAL MANAGEMENT OF EXPOSED PULP USING BIOACTIVE MATERIALS: TWO CASE REPORTS

ABSTRACT

Aims: This article present alternatives of bioactive materials use for direct pulp capping in immature teeth and for apexogenesis.Case report Two case reports with the application of bioactive cementsare presented here one in a tooth with pulp exposure and another with deep carious lesion, pulp exposure and open apex.Results: In both cases, the treatment was performed in one visit and a favorable clinical and radiographic follow-up was achieved.Conclusion: The use of bioactive materials ledto the formation of a dentin bridge and healing process in the pulp tissue exposure, without the need for conventional endodontic treatment
