pulp capping

pulp capping
the procedure of covering an exposed tooth pulp following trauma with a medicament (usually based on calcium hydroxide), which is then covered with a temporary or permanent restoration.

* * *

covering of an exposed or nearly exposed pulp with a dressing or cement to protect the pulp against further injury and to provide an environment for healing and repair processes. In direct capping, the dressing is placed directly over the pulp at the site of exposure. In indirect capping, it is placed over a thin partition of remaining dentin, which if removed, might expose the dental pulp.
