Should pulp chamber pulpotomy be seen as a permanent treatment? Some preliminary thoughts

Abstract: Under the conditions of this study, pulpotomy offered a viable alternative to root canal treatment for teeth with vital pulps in the short term. However, there is insufficient clinical evidence to consider this technique for the treatment of every permanent tooth. Nevertheless, it should be considered as a potential alternative approach to be further developed for future applications.

“…Beyond the not-yet proven potential to strengthen an immature root, this would be conserving an immunologically active ''root canal filling'' that combats leakage better than any existing filling material. Consequently, the boundaries of what can be expected from vital pulp therapy have been explored (50).…”

“…Few studies were performed regarding the clinical and radiographic evaluation of MTA as a pulpotomy agent in mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis, stating that the probability of survival without any other intervention after MTA pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth is around 82% 8 and 100%. 9 This means that survival without root canal treatment after MTA pulpotomy is possible in cases of irreversible pulpitis.…”
