Depending on the clinical setting, vital pulp therapy can be managed with an indirect or direct pulp-capping procedure. The determination of which therapy to employ is a decision that must be made by the clinician at the time of treatment. It is hoped that the preceding discussion has informed the clinician as to both the indications and contraindications for each type of treatment and the rationale for selection. Because every possible clinical situation cannot be presented, it is anticipated that by understanding the principles presented in this article, the clinician will be able to correctly identify which therapeutic modality will most benefit the patient. Table 1 is presented as a quick reference to aid in selecting appropriate candidates for pulp-capping procedures.
根据临床情况，活髓治疗可通过间接或直接盖髓术进行处理。采用哪种治疗方法的决定必须由临床医生在治疗时做出。希望前面的讨论能让临床医生了解每种治疗方法的适应证和禁忌证以及选择的理由。由于不可能呈现每一种可能的临床情况，预计通过理解本文介绍的原则，临床医生将能够正确识别哪种治疗方式对患者最有益。表1作为一个快速参考，有助于选择适合盖髓术的患者。
