● Conclusions1. Breast milk has a pH of 7.2
2. Proven health benefits of breastfeeding
3. Lack of consistent evidence
4. Promote breastfeeding
5. Emphasize OH and reduce CHO consumption
Ankyloglossia ● 6 week old healthy infant is referred to you for
problems with sucking. Pediatrician is concerned and noted a ‘short tongue’. Your examination reveals ankyloglossia.
● What do you tell the parent and pediatrician?● Is there any evidence to support treatment?● Evidence based decision:
‘ There are no controlled prospective trials for surgical interventions in infants with ankyloglossia, therefore there no conclusive suggestions regarding the method of intervention. Also controversial is which type of tongue-tie needs to be surgically repaired and which can be left to observe’
• How severe is the condition?• Is the infant having problems ‘latching’ on to the
mothers breast?• Is the infant gaining weight?
● 1. Cochrane Oral Health Group- nothing
● 2. ADA EBD: nothing

Pulp Therapy Mythology
5
Evidence for Pulpal Therapy
● With rare exception, the studies we rely on are academic thesis projects
● Almost all use the same inclusion criteria which really don’t reflect clinical reality
● Few follow their teeth through exfoliation and eruption of the succedaneous teeth
● Results are often clouded by purist views of radiologic success
6
What’s the Evidence for Pulp Therapy?
Nadin G, Goel BR, et al. Pulp treatment for
extensive decay in primary teeth (Cochrane
Review). The Cochrane Library 2003;2:1-30.● Searched all languages, found 138 references, read
77 in entirety, and…● Three studies met criteria for inclusion!• Conclusion: Insufficient randomized trials to provide
reliable evidence supporting one type of pulp treatment as superior to others

Common Clinical Situations
8
What Evidence Exists On Diagnosis of the Primary Pulp
● Extent of Carious Lesions
● Tooth Coloration● Location of Tooth● Clinical, Radiographic
and Bleeding
9
The Extent of Caries
The relationship between extent of carious involvement of the marginal ridge and pulp inflammation in primary molars MS Duggal, A Nooh, A High. J Dent Res Abs # 1540, 1999
Classified marginal ridge caries
Pulp changes identified in 80% of teeth with <2/3rd of ridge involved
Pulp changes in 100% of teeth with > 2/3rd of ridge involved
Part of UK guidelines for pulp therapy
10
The Extent of CariesHistopathology of the pulp in primary incisors withdeep dentinal caries. Eidelman, E et al. Pediatric Dent 1992;14:372● Looked at 53 carious primary incisor pulps without x-ray or clinical
pathosis, but deemed unrestorable● Removed caries after these teeth extracted as one would do if they
were to be saved● Had carious exposures on 24
but not on 29 of these● Of 29 unexposed, only 6 were
histologically healthy pulps● None of the 24 exposed pulps were
histologically normal; two-thirds had coronal inflammation
11
Are Dark Teeth Sick Teeth?• Sonis et al. Longitudinal study of discolored primary teeth and effect on succedaneous teeth. J Pedo 1987;11:247
● Followed 37 darkened incisors until lost and eruption of successor
● No clinical or x-ray pathosis on 72 percent
● Only 11 teeth with pathosis
● Only one successor had enamel problems; and successors tended to erupt early
• Soxman JA et al. Pulpal pathology in relation to discoloration of primary anterior teeth. JDC 1984;51:282
● Total necrosis in 11/23 and as early as 10 days S/P trauma
● No correlation between color and histopathological status

Pulpectomies Work as WellTwo-year outcomes of primary molar ferricsulfate pulpotomy and root canal therapy.
CasasMJ et al. Pediatr Dent 2003;25:97● Studied 109 molar pulpectomies and they
were as good as ferric sulfate pulpotomies (98% after 2 years)
An evaluation of pulpal therapy in primaryincisors. Coll JA et al. Pediatr Dent 1988;10:178.● Studied 27 incisor pulpectomies and found
them 78% effective after 45.5 months
14
Pulpectomy Research Support
Success rate of root canal treatment in primary molars.
Moskovitz et al J Dent (2005): 41-47 • Found 85% success rate with pulpectomy
procedure – Filled with IRM
Ballesio et al Eur J Pediatr Dent (2002) 133-140.Chemical and pharmacological shaping of necrotic
primary teeth. • Found 92% success rate
– Necrotic primary molars with fistulas– First visit: canals filled with powdered antibiotic
mixed with anesthetic solution– Second visit: canals were filled with IRM
15
Who Has Time For This?
Coll J. Indirect pulp capping and primary
teeth: is the primary tooth pulpotomy out of
date? Pediatr Dent 2008;30:230-236.● This author recommends placement of GIC for This author recommends placement of GIC for
several months in primary teeth when caries several months in primary teeth when caries approaches the “red zone” approaches the “red zone”
● While he maintains this is cheaper than a While he maintains this is cheaper than a pulpotomy, he does not address cost of re-pulpotomy, he does not address cost of re-treatment which may be neededtreatment which may be needed
16
Bring Back the Indirect Pulp Cap? Indirect pulp treatment of primary posteriorteeth: a retrospective study. Al-Zayer MA etal. Pediatr Dent 2003;25:29● Looked at 187 primary posterior teeth treated with
indirect pulp therapy● Deep dentinal caries, but no symptoms or x-ray
signs of pulpal pathosis● CaOH placed with crown, amalgam or composite● A 95% success with a 96% 1-year success● Crowns had best success
17
What Else About Pulp Therapy?
If we look at what the many studies tell us….● Repeated studies suggest that regardless of medicament
treatment success depends on initial pulp health [inclusion criterion for all studies]
● First primary molars uniformly have poorer prognosis compared to second molars
● Most studies show either little difference in success between clinical and x-ray findings, or use clinically irrelevant criteria, so don’t radiograph without clinical signs
● Always follow pulp therapy with a crown
18
Why Do a 5-Minute Full Strength FC Pulpotomy?Histobiological effectiveness of a reducedconcentration of Buckley’s formocresol. Verco PJ.Ped Dent 1985;7:130● Looked at S. faecalis, S. salivarius, Staph aureus● Found formocresol concentrations of 0.05 to 0.33%
to be bacteriocidalComparison of antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects ofglutaraldehyde and formocresol . Hill SD et al. O,O,O1991;71:89● Mean microbicidal concentration of formocresol
was 0.23% and cytotoxic concentration (fixation) was 0.0075%
● The minimum concentration of formocresol to kill 9 organisms was 0.75% for 2 minutes
19
Confused? Me Too!
● Literature on FC, FS, MTA, laser, NaOCl, CH is often conflicting or does not track long enough to show a measurable difference to merit switching materials
• If what you use works, keep using it!
20
So What Does the Evidence Say?
● Carious primary tooth with deep caries but no exposure, do an indirect pulp cap
● Carious primary tooth with stoppable pulpal hemorrhage and no other clinical or radiographic signs, do a pulpotomy
● Carious primary tooth with pulpal pathosis but good root structure (ie, no resorption) do a pulpectomy

Stainless Steel Crowns: Not Much Evidence on Technique
● Pre-crimped, pre-contoured crowns or do it yourself?
● Trimming crowns?● One brand versus
another?● Polishing before
cementation?● Type of cement used?● High occlusion?
