Pulpotomy in the Adult Patient: Does It Work? A Case Report
International Journal of Research and Reports in Dentistry · pp. 107–112 · Published 7 Oct 2020
Abstract
Pulp exposure due to caries is exceedingly common. Generally, a tooth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis can be treated and maintained successfully with conventional root canal treatment. However, emerging scientific evidence has shown that such teeth treated with pulpotomy as a first line of treatment provides increasingly predictable results. In this case report, the author describes a step-by step treatment procedure for pulpotomy in an adult tooth. Proper case selection and adhering to a rigid clinical protocol contributes to a successful outcome of pulpotomy treatment. In this case, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) was placed as a capping material; haemostasis was achieved within 4 minutes and the tooth was restored with an excellent margin.
