Pedodontics — Key differences for NEET MDS
Indirect pulp capping = deep caries no exposure. Direct pulp capping = NOT recommended in primary teeth. Pulpotomy = vital pulp therapy coronal pulp removal. Formocresol = Buckleys = controversial devitalization. IRM base = zinc oxide eugenol. MTA = mineral trioxide aggregate = preferred current. Ferric sulfate = alternative pulpotomy agent. Pulpectomy = ZOE paste or iodoform paste.

APF gel = 1.23 percent = 12300ppm. Fluorosis = Deans index for classification. SMART fluoride = silver modified atraumatic restorative treatment. SDF = silver diamine fluoride = arrest caries. GIC sealant = fluoride releasing alternate.
