Oo this was 32 hours late, had a patient with irreversible pulpitis secondary to cracked tooth syndrome…. Got very close to pulp chamber but cleared the crack and some caries… decided hold on this might not need an RCT so packed some ledermix and cotton pledget etc. in hindsight should’ve gone CaOH
@@protrusive Ok let’s do the full story: Sharp ‘brain freezing’ pains while in motion: in the car /on the bus UR6 stained palatal fissure with a tiny spot of possibly active caries Endo frost test normal in UR567, perhaps just slightly lingering on UR6 Non TTP Pain sensation recreated with pressure applied to mesiopalatal cusp UR6 Transillumination detection of poss fracture line running around the whole MP cusp Articaine buccal + palatal infiltration Caries removal - woah that tiny spot actually went down really far Some visible crack-lines chased about 2mm Followed the caries down but patient starts getting sensitivity. All caries removed by this point. I still want to go deeper and do a pulpotomy at least 2 cartridges and 10mins later, still sensitive. All caries removed, I can just about see the pulp horn. Too sensitive to continue. I just go CHX, ledermix, cotton pellet, GIC. Review in 1 week Called her today (>24 hours now) says it’s sooo much better, but there is still a tiny bit of an ache sometimes. Reckon I should’ve used hypochlorite, and gone deeper and got some blood. There was some dentine there I was afraid to remove and praying for the diffusion of ledermix 🥲
Thank you very much for this amazing episode. I have a question, can we use the same methods and procedure for primary teeth? And can we use sodium hypochlorite instead of ferric sulfate ? My practice doesn’t have that and we have plenty cases of pulpotomy everyday.

Hi Cavan! Did you use the ledermix as an indirect pulp cap? Or did you expose?

Ok let’s do the full story:
Sharp ‘brain freezing’ pains while in motion: in the car /on the bus
UR6 stained palatal fissure with a tiny spot of possibly active caries
Endo frost test normal in UR567, perhaps just slightly lingering on UR6
Non TTP
Pain sensation recreated with pressure applied to mesiopalatal cusp UR6
Transillumination detection of poss fracture line running around the whole MP cusp
Articaine buccal + palatal infiltration
Caries removal - woah that tiny spot actually went down really far
Some visible crack-lines chased about 2mm

Should sodium hypochlorite be used after the bleeding has stopped or to apply over the bleeding pulp?
Yes ! Love this episode's subject, very interesting !
Thanks Jaz.
thank YOU doc!
Thanks for this interesting topic!which material is better for pulpotomy in permanent tooth? Cem cement, dycal, light curing dycal, zonalin(zoe)
Great episode!!
Hi, Which pulpotomy materials is the longest lasting option?
can we use ferric sulfate instead of hypochlorite in permanent tooth?

I asked my wife (doing her MSc in Paeds) and she said MTA/Ferric sulfate - NOT hypochlorite
I NEVER ever heard of using hypochloride for pulpotomys, only IPC and DPC disinfecting the cavity and pulpectomy?!!
What do you mean by freshly mixed CaOH vs dycal; as dycal requires mixing of the base and catalyst?
I'm not sure about the freshly mixed part either actually, but dycal is a setting material - we want to place NON setting calcium hydroxide in canals
Would this work for cracked tooth syndrome?
the way I see it the best endo is no endo. If one can manage CTS without pulpal entry then that would be ideal.
@@protrusive thank you. Did a composite filling, but unfortunately tooth still has pain on biting tooth slooth
@@ohokay7498 reduce the cusps - temporary direct overlay or it is an extensive composite go for onlay/crown.
