Pulp CAP-Indirect (Excluding Final Restoration)
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description:
The Pulp CAP-Indirect procedure is a crucial dental intervention aimed at preserving the health and vitality of a tooth’s pulp when decay or trauma compromises its structure. This treatment involves placing a protective material over a thin layer of remaining dentin, which indirectly covers the pulp. The purpose of the procedure is to encourage dentin repair and maintain pulp vitality, preventing further complications and the need for more invasive treatments such as root canal therapy.
During the Pulp CAP-Indirect procedure, the dentist carefully removes the decayed portions of the tooth while ensuring that enough dentin is left intact to protect the underlying pulp. The exposed dentin is then covered with a biocompatible material, such as calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), which acts as a barrier and encourages the formation of secondary dentin. This process helps isolate the pulp from further exposure to bacterial invasion and thermal or chemical irritation.
The procedure is commonly performed in cases where the decay is deep but has not yet reached the pulp chamber. By preserving the tooth’s vitality and structure, patients benefit from a reduced risk of future complications and maintain better long-term oral health. This conservative approach is essential for maintaining the tooth’s natural resilience and function.
Procedure Duration:
The duration of a Pulp CAP-Indirect procedure typically ranges between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of decay and the tooth's location. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and minimize any pain or discomfort during the process.
The procedure begins with the dentist isolating the affected tooth to prevent contamination from saliva. Once the area is prepared, the decayed portions of the tooth are carefully removed using dental instruments, taking great care to preserve the thin layer of dentin that protects the pulp. After thorough cleaning, the dentist applies a protective layer of biocompatible material to the exposed dentin and seals it with a temporary filling. This initial visit may be followed by monitoring to ensure successful pulp healing and the formation of secondary dentin.
The recovery from a Pulp CAP-Indirect procedure is generally swift, with most patients experiencing mild sensitivity for a few days. This sensitivity usually subsides as the tooth begins to heal. Patients can resume normal activities almost immediately after the treatment, but they are advised to avoid hard or sticky foods that may dislodge the temporary filling until the final restoration is placed.
Benefits:
- Preserves Tooth Vitality: Maintains the natural function and health of the tooth by preventing the need for root canal therapy.
- Minimally Invasive: Reduces the amount of tooth structure removed compared to other restorative procedures.
- Promotes Healing: Encourages the formation of secondary dentin, aiding in pulp protection and recovery.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than more invasive treatments such as root canals.
- Quick Recovery: Allows patients to return to their normal routines with minimal downtime.

Risks & Considerations:
- Temporary Sensitivity: Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity following the procedure, which typically resolves within a few days.
- Potential Failure of Treatment: In some cases, the pulp may not heal as expected, necessitating further treatment such as a root canal.
- Infection Risk: If proper sterilization and sealing are not maintained, there is a risk of bacterial contamination.
- Dislodged Temporary Filling: Patients must be cautious with their diet to prevent the temporary filling from dislodging before the final restoration.
- Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some patients may have allergic reactions to the materials used in the procedure.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:
When selecting a dentist or dental clinic for the Pulp CAP-Indirect procedure, it is essential to consider factors such as credentials, experience, and reviews. Ensure that the dentist has specialized training in restorative dentistry and a proven track record with similar procedures. Reading patient testimonials and checking before-and-after case studies can provide valuable insights.
Additionally, choose a clinic that adheres to stringent sterilization protocols and uses high-quality materials. Accreditation from recognized international bodies and adherence to global dental standards can be indicators of the clinic’s commitment to patient safety and quality care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
