Abstract
Pulp capping is a crucial treatment modality in endodontics aimed at preserving pulp vitality and promoting dentin bridge formation. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of indirect and direct pulp capping techniques, their indications, materials used, and clinical outcomes. Understanding the principles, advantages, limitations, and step-by-step procedures of both approaches is essential for dental professionals to make informed decisions and optimize treatment outcomes in cases of reversible pulpitis or minimal pulp exposure. This article aims to equip clinicians with the knowledge required to choose the most appropriate pulp capping technique for individual cases, promoting successful pulp healing and long-term tooth preservation.
