Abstract

Objective: To perform a retrospective study by the examination of radiographs of children presenting 21 primary molars with deep cavities, in the pulp maturation and regression phase of the biological cycle, in which indirect pulp treatment was performed in a single session, without further reopening for reevaluation of the remaining dentin. Method: From an initial sample of 60 charts, only 12 were selected. The mean age of the children enrolled in the study was 7 years in the beginning of the treatment, totalizing 21 primary teeth with deep caries lesions previously treated with indirect pulp treatment. The inclusion criteria were: primary molars, deep caries lesions, primary teeth restored by indirect pulp treatment using composite resin or glass ionomer cement, minimal follow-up period of 6 months, patients that returned for the radiographic exam, treatment plan proposed for the target teeth, date of the interventions, dates of the initial and final radiographs present in the charts. Results: The analysis of the 21 radiographs selected for the study revealed that none of the teeth subjected to indirect pulp treatment presented internal or external pathological resorption processes and no periapical or intraradicular lesions were found during the follow-up periods of the study. Conclusion: The indirect pulp treatment in a single session is an alternative for the treatment of deep caries lesions in primary teeth in the pulp maturation and regression phases. Further prospective studies are needed to obtain additional information for the pulp-dentin complex response after partial removal of the carious tissue.
