Recommended procedures for managing carious lesions in primary teeth with pulp involvement-a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Managing dental caries in primary teeth with pulp involvement is a significant challenge. Clinical guidelines offer recommendations for effective management.

Aim

To identify and analyze policies, guidelines, and recommendations for treating primary teeth with pulp-involved carious lesions, highlighting existing research gaps and setting the foundation for future research.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted across databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, GIN, and LILACS) and grey literature sources (Trip and ProQuest) to identify guidelines, consensus, policy, and position statements on primary teeth pulp therapy and extraction thresholds. Two independent reviewers screened the abstracts and titles, followed by full-text screening.
