Why Does The Cvek Pulpotomy Work?
Cvek proved that the depth of inflammation in traumatic exposures does not exceed 2mm by experimenting on monkey pulps. He deliberately exposed a number of teeth and sacrificed the animals several months later. Histological examination revealed that none of the pulps had inflammation deeper than 2mm. From these experiments, Cvek determined that it is not necessary to remove more than 2mm of vital pulp tissue to promote healing. The exposed vital pulp has strong powers of resistance. In the rare case that the Cvek pulpotomy does not work, and root canal therapy must be instituted, you don¹t see the dystrophic calcification common with traditional pulpotomies. Advantages of the Cvek pulpotomy include the following: It is effective in large exposures even after many days. It requires minimal chair time (approximately 20 minutes). Pulpal vitality is maintained. Vitality monitoring is easy. The cost to patients is minimal. The Cvek pulpotomy works. Try it – You¹ll like it!
