In modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (VPT) has been considered an ultra-conservative treatment modality. Based on the level of pulp preservation, VPT includes stepwise excavation, indirect pulp capping (IDPC), direct pulp capping (DPC), miniature pulpotomy (MP), partial/Cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (CP). The present article reviews the treatment outcomes of 94 permanent te...

The treatment options of enamel dentin crown fractures with pulpal exposure in the primary dentition traditionally consist of direct pulp capping, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, or extraction. Many clinicians disagree on the most appropriate treatment, and individual preferences exist within dentistry. Partial pulpotomy, also known as the Cvek pulpotomy, is a mode of treatment which is widely used in t...

Two cases of young patients with traumatized permanent teeth having complicated crown fractures are reported. Endodontic management included partial pulpotomy by the Cvek technique; restorative management included resin restoration and reattachment of the teeth fragments. Treatments were considered successful in all cases according to the following criteria: absence of clinical symptoms, absenc...

vitality of dental pulp is essential for long-term tooth survival. the aim of vital pulp therapy is to maintain healthy pulp tissue by eliminating bacteria from the dentin-pulp complex. there are several different treatment options for vital pulp therapy in extensively decayed or traumatized teeth. pulp capping or pulpotomy procedures rely upon an accurate assessment of the pulp status, and car...

Introduction:
 Endodontic treatment may be required for the permanent teeth due to different reasons in childhood. Biological materials such as MTA and Biodentine® have started used nowadays endodontic treatment. Studies shown that these stimulated formation of new vascularized tissue apical mature with necrotic pulp periapical lesions. In addition, are preferred direct indirect capping th...

INTRODUCTION During the past decade, with a view to understanding pulp biology better and developing bioactive materials, pulpotomy has been reinvestigated as a definitive treatment in mature permanent teeth. Pulp chamber pulpotomy or coronal pulpotomy is widely used in deciduous and immature permanent teeth, and there is thus a need for trials to evaluate the outcome of pulpotomy as a therapeu...

BACKGROUND Vital pulpotomy is a single-stage procedure of surgical amputation of the coronal portion of exposed vital pulp, usually as a means of preserving the vitality and function of the remaining radicular portion. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic success rates for ferric sulfate (FS), electrosurgery (ES) and laser pulpotomy in human p...

PURPOSE This study's purpose was to determine the pulpotomy-to-crown ratio (PCR) in a high-early childhood caries patient population and factors associated with choice of pulpotomy and crown treatments. METHODS This was a retrospective quality assurance chart review. Five calibrated examiners (kappa=0.86) rated radiographic caries from available films. Demographic data, including age, health ...
