Question 235 · LDEK · Primary teeth
A healthy 7-year-old boy reported to the doctor who diagnosed pulp exposure in tooth 55 with no reaction to vitality tests, but the crown of the tooth was preserved in good condition. On the X-ray picture there is no sign of root resorption nor the presence of the germ of tooth 15. The most appropriate treatment method is:
- A. vital pulpotomy.
- B. Cvek’s pulpotomy.
- C. mortal pulpotomy.
- D. pulpectomy.
- E. extraction.
Hint
The premolar successor is missing, so the primary molar should be kept long-term — and its pulp is not vital.
