Tasks include performing a dental X-ray, anesthetizing the tooth using a syringe, drilling decayed cavity and start pulp treatment, rinsing, pulp treatment and filling the tooth, applying light cure and finally polishing the teeth. The second visit for pulpotomy procedure will be scheduled two days after first visit. Children will be managed using the TSD (Tell-Show-Do) technique.
OTHERtell show do
