[592 pulp cappings in a dental office--a clinical study (1966-1990)]. / 592 Pulpaüberkappungen in einer zahnärztlichen Praxis--eine klinische Prüfung (1966-1990).

In a dental office 592 direct and indirect pulp cappings were followed up to 24 years. 404 of these pulps remained vital. The success of this treatment seemed to be related to age, type of tooth, and the extent of pulp exposure. In some advanced cases the clinical outcome was better than expected.
