No pain had been noticed in the past, no increased mobility of the tooth and no changes in the local mucous membrane were present. On an x-ray, no inflammatory periapical changes were found. There was a positive pulp reaction to cold stimuli. The proper treatment is:
- A. Cveck pulpotomy.
- B. devitalization of the pulp and pulpectomy.
- C. amputation of the pulp using ferric sulfate or formocresol when hemostasis can be achieved within 5 minutes.
- D. intravital pulpectomy if the hemostasis can be achieved within 5 minutes.
