Pulp exposures are the common problems encountered during the management of deep carious lesions in children and adolescents. The clinical skill plays an important role to achieve cooperation, reduced chair side time, and total patient care. This article describes a novel endodontic simulation trainer for dental pulpotomy and pulp capping. The simulator described in the article provides advantages such as life size design, easy to use, and cheaper to fabricate with good functional fidelity. This invention has the advantage that the pellet is replaceable, and so the procedure can be done multiple times simply by replacing it with a new pellet. |
