Pulpectomy; Ca(OH)2 + topfilling

Often time is the limiting factor in the treatment of patients with acute pulpitits. However, when this is not the case, the canals should be completely preparaed. Calcium hydroxide in the root canal and a temporary restoration with good marginal seal results in excellent pain control in almost all cases (over 95 %). In cases in which all of the pulp tissue can be removed, the canal(s) may be obturated.
