PULP CAPPINGPULP CAPPING
Pulp capping is a process of placing Pulp capping is a process of placing a specialised agent in contact with a specialised agent in contact with or in close proximity to the pulp with or in close proximity to the pulp with the intention of encouraging the intention of encouraging formation of new dentin & promote formation of new dentin & promote the healing of the pulp .eg: Calcium the healing of the pulp .eg: Calcium Hydroxide Cement .Hydroxide Cement .
