How much does pulp capping surgery generally cost?

Pulp capping is a treatment method for reversible pulpitis, generally using calcium hydroxide pulp capping plus two layers of lining and dental filling materials. The general cost of these materials ranges between 200-300, depending on the number of root canals in your teeth. The cost of tooth filling is generally between 260-400. Pulp capping is a method to preserve vital pulp, which involves covering the dentin surface near the pulp or the exposed pulp wound with agents that restore pulp lesions, in order to protect the pulp and eliminate the lesions. Pulp capping can be further divided into direct pulp capping and indirect pulp capping. Commonly used pulp capping agents include calcium hydroxide preparations, zinc oxide eugenol paste, etc. When performing pulp capping, it is important to place the pulp capping agent on the site where the pulp is about to be exposed or has already been exposed, and then temporarily fill the tooth cavity with zinc oxide eugenol paste. For indirect pulp capping, observation is required for two weeks. If there is no abnormality in the pulp after two weeks, the zinc oxide can be partially removed and permanent filling can be performed. If pulp symptoms occur, such as increasing irritation pain or spontaneous pain, pulp treatment should be performed. For direct pulp capping, a follow-up examination should be performed every six months for at least two years. The follow-up examination should assess the presence of pain, pulp vitality, percussion pain, and X-ray findings. If there are no abnormalities, the treatment can be considered successful.
