Class of 2008,
I am always wanting to improve and change the way I organize and teach each course. I've really enjoyed your willingness to accept some educational experimentation. Please take some time to offer some feedback by answering the following questions. Thank you!

For the most part, a bony defect seen in the furcation area calls for an extraction of the infected deciduous teeth. However, we may obtain a favorable outcome and healing if a pulpotomy is done correctly.
I am very happy to know a non-mobile deciduous tooth with furcation of apical lesion may be saved by doing two step pulptomy with formacresol instead of extraction as i was taught before.

- Pulp horns are directly under the Cusp tips.
- 1 step Pulpotomy keeps the remaining pulp vital, while in a 2 step pulpotomy, pulp is inert.
- Formocresol is very caustic and should be handled with care.

One step pulpotomy is not indicated in upper anterior teeth, only for molar teeth upper and lower.If we use a round bur to amputate the pulp we could pull some pulp out of the roots as well.

Formocresol is very caustic.
There are 1-step and 2 step pulpotomy which is indicated to different situations.

I like your "educational experimentation" for the course. At UCLA many courses are often organized in the same manner year after year and student feedback seems to be ignored. Your willingness to try new things is much welcomed and stimulates us all to learn in ways we've never learned before. Also, in this technological age, the use of the Internet and online webpages for courses make it easier to interact and give you feedback. Thank you.
One thing interesting that I noted was in regards to what is done when a dentist gets a pulp exposure with a child. When performing pulpotomy after getting a pulp exposure, we must lower the pulp floor so that we can see all four pulp horns, then “connect the dots”, which is different than what is done in adults. Usually the roof of the pulp chamber will come off – if not, we should only remove it with a spoon. Also we should amputate the pulp with a clean excavator and not with a bur because we will be likely to remove the entire pulp – including the radicular pulp – if we do that.
The best way to amputate a root is with a clean spoon excavator vs. a round bur, which could pull out the entire root system. Also, a 1/5 Michigan dilution of formocresol for 5 minutes is the preferred method of sterilization.

It is best to remove the pulp in a pulpotomy with a spoon excavator, not a handpiece. Then, the pulpotomy may be performed in one step to keep the pulp alive.
