Primary tooth pulp therapy as taught in predoctoral pediatric dental programs in the United States

R E Primosch et al. Pediatr Dent. 1997 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

A survey of all predoctoral pediatric dental programs in the United States was conducted to ascertain the contemporary teaching philosophies and techniques for pulp therapy in primary teeth. All 53 predoctoral programs responded to a two-part survey consisting of multiple choice questions regarding which pulp therapies and specific techniques were taught and which pulp therapies would be employed under certain hypothetical clinical scenarios. The results of the survey confirmed some lack of consensus on the selection and application of certain treatment modalities and techniques taught for primary tooth pulp therapy in predoctoral dental programs in the United States.
