ASSESSMENT OF THE CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF MINERAL TRIOXIDE AGGREGATE (MTA) IN THE TREATMENT OF PULPITIS IN CHILDREN WITH PRIMARY DENTITION FOLLOWING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Keywords:
Complications of caries in deciduous teeth, especially pulpitis, are one of the most common problems in children. If pulpitis is not treated effectively in a timely manner, it can lead to tooth extraction. In children undergoing orthodontic treatment, such conditions force a change in the treatment plan.Abstract
Pediatric dentistry and orthodontics are closely related fields. Children’s teeth
perform not only the chewing function, but also the function of maintaining space for
permanent teeth. International studies have shown that early extraction of children’s
molars can cause mesial displacement of adjacent teeth within 6 months (Northway et
al., 1984). This increases the risk of space deficiency and malocclusion during the
eruption of permanent teeth.
