Biodentine XP has not been evaluated by Clinical Consultants of DENTAL ADVISOR. It was chosen as a Clinical Problem Solver by consensus of the Editors.

Problem

Patient presented with large area of decay on tooth #a. Pulp exposure during caries curettage necessitated a cervical pulpotomy. Biodentine XP was bulk-filled from the pulp chamber to the occlusal surface and then capped with a stainless steel crown. An x-ray follow-up at 3 months showing the absence of any peridicular lesion.

Solution

Biodentine XP is an excellent bioactive restorative material. It can be directly placed in the tooth using the ergonomically-designed gun and capsules. In this case, Biodentine XP successfully sealed the tooth and provided a stable, bioactive foundation for the stainless steel crown in this pediatric case.
