Endodontic considerations in pediatric dentistry: a clinical perspective
Introduction
The deciduous tooth often presents post-carious pulpal
implications that require endodontic treatment. The
deciduous tooth goes through different stages during
which it witnesses changes of anatomical and physiological
nature: the root undergoes resorption and the pulp’s
reactive potential is diminished or even lost. The tooth has
also to be considered within the physiopathological context
of the child. The age, general health, and the compliance
of the young patient (and sometimes that of the parents)
are also factors to be considered before undertaking any
treatment procedure.
