What is the treatment for a complicated fracture less than 24 hours old?

pulpotomy
direct pulp cap
apexogenesis
Cveck

The correct answer is: direct pulp cap

A pulpotomy is a treatment for a damaged pulp, which is not relevant to a fracture. Cvek's technique is used for a traumatic crown fracture, not a complicated fracture. Apexogenesis is a treatment for immature teeth, and not applicable to a complicated fracture less than 24 hours old. Direct pulp cap is the recommended treatment for a complicated fracture that is less than 24 hours old. This involves placing a protective material over the exposed pulp to allow it to heal and prevent further damage or infection. Other options such as pulpotomy, Cvek's technique, and apexogenesis are not applicable to a complicated fracture and may not provide appropriate treatment or result in successful healing. It is important to seek prompt treatment from a dental professional for complicated fractures in order to prevent further complications.
