Direct pulp capping and pulpotomy attempt to preserve pulpal vitality by the application of a medicament or dental material to the exposed pulp. Many medicaments and materials have been used for pulp capping and pulpotomy. Apexification, generally with Ca(OH)2 alone or in combination with other drugs to stimulate apical closure, was the accepted treatment for many years. After placement and setting of an apical plug of several millimeters of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), the canal can be obturated. Placement of large amounts of MTA may lead to blockage of the canal before the material reaches the proper depth. Reports of nonvital immature teeth with open apices and suppuration have demonstrated ingrowth of pulp-like tissue and complete root formation, both in length and thickness of dentin, after treatment with triple antibiotic paste.
