Resumen
Maintaining the integrity and health of the oral tissues is the primary objective of pulp treatment. Premature loss of primary teeth can lead to malocclusion and/or to esthetic, phonetic, or functional problems. It is important to attempt to preserve pulp vitality whenever possible; however, when this is not feasible, the pulp can be entirely extirpated without significantly compromising the function of the tooth [1, 2].
