Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct pulp capping is the treatment of choice for exposed pulp cavity preparation where the pulp is visibly exposed or nearly exposed. It involves placing a biocompatible material directly onto the exposed pulp to promote healing and the formation of secondary dentin. Indirect pulp capping is preferred when the pulp is not visibly exposed, and other options such as ZOE base and varnish are not adequate for treating an exposed pulp.
