Root canal therapy (RCT) is a common and successful treatment for irreversible pulpitis due to carious pulp exposure in mature permanent teeth. However, it is often an expensive procedure, may require multiple appointments, and requires a high level of training and clinical skill, specifically in molars. Uninsured patients, low-income patients, and patients with limited access to specialist car...

vital pulp therapy (vpt) of permanent mature teeth is continuously ascertaining to be a more reliable endodontic treatment. the purpose of this case report was to describe successful vpt of a mature mandibular left first molar with concurrent hyperplastic pulpitis, internal root resorption and periradicular periodontitis in a 35-year-old male patient. after complete caries removal and access ca...

chronic hyperplastic pulpitis (pulp polyps) usually occurs in molar teeth of children and young adults and is characterized by an overgrowth of granulomatous tissue into the carious cavity. here, we report a rare type of pulp polyp in lower third molar of a 27-year-old woman that not only grow into carious cavity but also extruded in very large size that interfered with occluding of the teeth.

ÖZET A hyperplastic pulpitis (pulp polyp) case was reported at the centre of a bridge abutment tooth associated with extensive caries and periapical radiolucency in a middle-aged female patient contrary to the fact that it usually develops in a large open cavity. A 31-year-old-female patient had a bridge from 35 to 37 on her mandibular left side. She had discomfort in her mandibular left second...

OBJECTIVES Few studies investigated the isolation of stem cells from pathologically injured dental tissues. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of isolation of stem cells from pulp polyps (chronic hyperplastic pulpitis), a pathological tissue produced in an inflammatory proliferative response within a tooth. STUDY DESIGN Pulp polyp tissues were enzymatically digested and the h...

INTRODUCTION Differentiation between reversible pulpitis (savable pulp) and irreversible inflammation of the pulp tissue (nonsavable pulp) based only on clinical and radiographic diagnoses has proven to be difficult. Pulp exposure allows for the collection of pulpal blood to quantitatively determine the level of inflammation markers or proteolytic enzymes, even with small samples. Pulpitis is a...
