100 - Pulp Therapy Guideline Update

Title: Vital And Non-vital Pulp Therapy Update
Summary:
Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are based on well-done systematic reviews while assessing the certainty of evidence and balancing benefits and harms to patients’ values and preferences. Such guidelines are considered trustworthy and can be used by the clinicians to provide the highest quality patient-centered care in their practices. The AAPD published a clinical practice guideline on primary teeth non-vital pulp therapies in 2020 and is updating the 2017 clinical practice guideline on primary teeth vital pulp therapies and developing a permanent tooth vital pulp guideline. This session will explain AAPD’s pulp therapy guidelines from a clinician’s perspective and evaluate in-depth the basis and interpretation of the evidence-based findings for vital and non-vital pulp therapies in teeth.
