Nouveaux concepts dans la gestion des urgences dentaires

The management of dental emergencies is a central and essential issue in the daily practice of dentists. Through two clinical studies, we were able to identify new perspectives: 1/ The strategy of emergency management based on triage with the establishment of recommendations allowed to find an effective compromise between limiting the admission of patients and ensuring the control of their pain and the relief of their symptoms. 2/ More conservative management of irreversible pulpitis. Our data tend to support pulpotomy as an acceptable and more conservative permanent treatment option for irreversible pulpitis of mature molars. Our strategies could be considered as first-line treatments, thus providing additional steps in the therapeutic gradient.
