Objective: To search for a dental pulp preservative method in experimental pulpitis.
Methods: 20 rabbits with experimental pulpitis were selected for this study; Teeth were randomly assigned to 2 groups
(experimental and control groups) based on the final irrigation methods. In experimental group (double-pinhole drainage),
the two pinholes were drilled in middle 1/3 dental cervix of buccal labial surface of tooth; the pinholes were inserted into
infant transfusion needles then the two syringes were contacted with them, one for suck, another for irrigation. In control
group, pinhole was sealed. Rabbits were executed in 1, 3, 5, 7 day. The inflammation in pulp chamber was assessed after 1,
3, 5, and 7 days.
Results: At the 1, 5 day time intervals, control group reported more inflammation than experimental group (P < .05). There
was no significant difference between two groups at the other time intervals (P > .05), and in all groups the inflammation
decreased over time.
Conclusion: Dental pulp can be preserved by double-pinhole drainage efficiently.
