Prevention of pulpopathies in current dental therapy

Na 35 zubi je bio (u prvom tromjesečju 1980) dijagnosticiran caries profunda simplex u 28 slučajeva, a caries profunda complicata u 7 slučajeva. Izvršeno je indirektno prekrivanje svih zubi jednakom metodom. Zubi su prvi puta kontrolirani i definitivno punjeni u prosjeku nakon tri mjeseca. Druga je kontrola bila izvršena nakon šest mjeseci, a treća nakon jedne godine. Nakon godinu dana, klinički je nalaz bio uredan u 30 zubi, a 4 su pokazivala nešto povišenu osjetljivost na termički test. Jedan je zub zbog pulpitisa morao biti endodointski tretiran, tri mjeseca nakon prekrivanja. Na tablicama su prikazani svi relevantni podaci. Smatramo da su sredstva na bazi kalcijevog hidroksida imala pozitivan učinak, već samim time što u liječenih zubi nije nakon 12 mjeseci došlo do progresije u klinički nepovoljnom smislu, a osobito na pulpi.In the sample of 35 teeth (during the first three months of 1980) caries profunda simplex was diagnosed iin 28 cases and caries profunda complicata in 7 cases. The same method of indirect covering was applied in all cases. The teeth were first controlled and definitely filled after three months on the average. The second control was made after six months and the third one after a year. After this period, the clinical finding was normal In 30 cases, while 4 cases showed a slightly higher sensitivity to the termical test. One tooth was endodontically treated on account of pulpitis three months after its covering. All the relevant data are shown in tables
