 The History of Dentistry, Infection Control and Pulp Capping
Pulp capping was practiced by German dentist Philip Pfaff in 1756,
reference a paper titled History of Dentistry by Terry Wilwerding of
Creighton University, a pdf file available for view on the internet.
They can be made directly on the pulp and indirectly on dentin. A
layer of calcium hydroxide cement may be placed on the pulp to
stimulate dentin growth and remineralization. a comparison of this
method with the total etch technique named for the phosphoric acid
etchant, a soft calcium hydroxide preparation is applied and rinsed,
appears in Vital Pulp Capping: a Worthwhile Procedure by Lawrence
Stockton of the University of Manitoba. Information on infection
control, the microorganisms involved, may be found in Controversies in
Endodontics by G. Bergenholtz of the Sahlgrenska Academy at Goteborg
University, Sweden and L. Spangberg of the University of Connecticut,
Farmington. One key to infection control is a diet of raw vegetables
and fruits, our teeth and bodies are designed for it. The cavity needs
to be cleaned after each meal. Systemic chemotherapeutics may be added
as needed, garlic, echincea, goldenseal, and a hot water bottle and
rest for inflammation. And a dentist or endodontist to cap the pulp.
We Americans are accelerating evolution.
In search of dental consultation on pulp capping.

i was always taught that calcium hydroxide "stimulated" the pulp to form tertiary dentin, and yet it is the same compound that some endodontists place in the c{*filter*}in two visit endos. i could never figure that out. but i think most people doing pulp caps are achieving hemostasis and then bonding right over the exposure.

The History of Dentistry, Infection Control and Pulp Capping Check the recent research. CaOH is no longer thought to stimulate dentin formation. It is thought to be bactericidal due to its pH. Plus, it disappears as a liner over a vital pulp, and leaves a void. You are better off pulp capping with resin, if you are going to do it. Personally, I use CaOH every few months when I get a pin point mechanical
exposure. I place the CaOH to kill any bacteria over the exposure, go ahead
and powder, scan and mill. It works well to protect the exposure from
saliva while I design and mill (about 10-15 minutes). Just before bonding,
I flick off the CaOH and bond right to the exposure.

The History of Dentistry, Infection Control and Pulp Capping There is still a Ford plant in KC on the Missouri side, and
a GM plant on the Kansas side. Ford has been offering 'buy
outs' to employees to trim the work force.
The St. Louis Ford plant closed a year or two ago.

The History of Dentistry, Infection Control and Pulp Capping Cerberus Capital Management bought Chrysler/Jeep from Daimler for $7.8B. They inherit a $19B pension and healthcare debt. They are known for liquidating any holding which is not making at least 22% for their owners. Since Chrysler lost $1.8B last year, it makes you wonder. We wonder if any of it will remain after 4-5 years.

Gordon, I am located in Wilmington, Delaware. But you should be able to find a very respectable dentist closer and more convienent to you. you can always ask the people on this board if what they are saying makes sense. it's harder for us sometimes without the benefits of diagnostic tools, but I would ask your friends about the dentists they see.

I believe our old friend Stan Goloskov (sp?) was in the Wilmington area--one of the shining lights of this newsgroup when I first checked in 6 or 8 years ago. Wonder if you know him. I have fond memories of the Wilmington area and esp. the Brandywine River valley from my old cycling days--spent every Columbus Day weekend in Chadds Ford. Steve

I think that's a big reason the US companies can no longer compete with the foreign ones. Since the people buying the cars don't care about the labor conditions or benefits to the employees, it's a no-win situation. Wasn't this similar to what happened to the US steel corps?

The History of Dentistry, Infection Control and Pulp Capping I worry that Cerberus will be selling off the company in bits and pieces as new companies and just stop paying on the pensions. Or, perhaps just liquidate solid assets and close it right down, therefore, no longer paying on those pensions and medical premiums. Hopefully, I am 100% wrong and they will maintain their commitments to the
work force.

The History of Dentistry, Infection Control and Pulp Capping Doesn't sound likely.
While unions were very necessary with the labor conditions in the
past, a few of them just got so big and greedy that they have
ended up biting the hand that feeds them.
I don't feel sorry for the union big wigs, but it hurts the
average worker too.
Not saying business fat cats are any nicer. Hard to find a 'happy medium.

What about the people writing the cheques....its a two-way street. They could have put their foot down. Remember Reagan and the air traffic controllers? Quote: > I don't feel sorry for the union big wigs, but it hurts the

I agree. There is a Toyota plant in a neighbouring city to me. No union.....yet. I doubt in today's manufacturing environment in North America, any union will be successful in getting in. Its one of the few local manufacturing jobs with good pay....thousands of similar manufacturing jobs in my area have disappeared in the last few years. Mostly skilled high tech and insurance are major employers now. John
