Cvek's partial pulpotomy helps to recover the exposed pulps preventing the necessity for additional endodontic therapy. It is usually embraced in teeth with open apices or thin dentinal wall to advance root development. MTA is new bioactive cement with dentin-like mechanical properties which can be utilized as a dentin substitute. It’s a positive result on vital pulp cells and stimulates tertiary dentin formation. In direct contact with vital pulp tissue, it likewise promotes the formation of reparative dentin and in properly elite cases may add to the long-term maintenance of tooth vitality. MTA pulpotomy comprised of pulp tissue removal to a depth of 2 mm, then capping the pulpal wound with MTA, followed by immediate restoration. The teeth were evaluated clinically through pulpal sensitivity tests and radiographically for periapical healing. At every recall (24 hours, 1 week, 30 days, 3, 6, 12, and eighte...

Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 800 (400 males and 400 females) permanent dentition casts of Chhattisgarh population. Mesiodistal crown widths of teeth were measured with digital caliper. The correlation and linear regression equations between the calculated four teeth (two permanent mandibular first molars and two central incisors) and the canine-premolars segments of both the arches were developed. Results: No significant differences were found in right and left side of the arch. Sexual dimorphism was significant in teeth sizes with higher mesiodistal dimension in males. A good correlation values varying from 0.51 to 0.67 was found. New standardized regression equations were formulated for the prediction of the mesiodistal widths of unerupted canines and premolars for Chhattisgarh population. Conclusion: Calculating mesiodistal widths of unerupted canine and premolars with help of two permanent mandibular molars and two mandibular central incisors, which erupt early in the oral cavity, can be an alternative and best predictor for the mixed dentition analysis.

The effect of this premature loss on the development of dentition is a matter of great interest. Importantly, the primary teeth are considered as natural space maintainers and therefore should be retained until their natural exfoliation. Based on these issues and concerns, the concept of “Lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR)” therapy proposed by the Cariology Research Unit of the Niigata University School of Dentistry, would be preferable to current endodontic treatments.
