Pulpectomy
A pulpectomy is a treatment to completely remove the pulp from a tooth's crown and roots. The soft interior layer called pulp is where the blood arteries, nerves, and connective tissue are located.
Pulpotomy
Pulpotomy is a dental procedure involving the removal of the pulp tissue from the crown portion of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. Once the pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
It is typically performed on primary (baby) teeth in order to save the tooth from extraction. The tooth is then fitted with a stainless steel crown.
The tooth’s pulp, which is invisible to the unaided eye, is located near the tooth’s core. The tissues, nerves, and blood vessels that direct the tooth’s essential nutrition and oxygen are compromised. Several things can harm the pulp, which causes tooth decay, excruciating pain, and pulp exposure, which causes inflammation.
