Describing the The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare partial pulpotomy treatments with Biodentine®, calcium hydroxide (CH) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in cariously exposed asymptomatic young permanent teeth clinically and radiographically for 1 year and evaluate root developments with Image J Software Program. Even partial removal of the injurious challenge can have a marked effect on clinical outcome; direct pulp capping and partial pulpotomy (Fig. Partial pulpotomy has been performed in carious exposures in young, asymptomatic teeth or teeth with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis with a high success rate , with increasing evidence that preserving pulp vitality is more attainable than previously thought. Long-term Pulpal and Restorative Outcomes of Pulpotomy in Mature Permanent Teeth. The type of definitive restoration was a potential predictor for late failure (P < .05). In mature teeth, a pulp exposed by caries is ustially removed and the root canals are filled. The partial pulpotomy showed success rates of 94,6 % in teeth with open root apices and 90,6 % in teeth with closed root apices. After achieving hemostasis they covered Taha et al. Teeth were assessed for up to 5 years for pulpal and apical signs and symptoms, restorative marginal integrity, and periodontal health. Partial pulpotomy is originally indicated for the treatment of mechanically-exposed immature permanent incisor using calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) for pulp capping and zinc oxide-eugenol for cavity filling/sealing and permanent restoration at the next session. Int Dent Res 2017;7:71-75. Seltzer S, Bender IB The dental pulp, 2nd ed., Philadelphia, JB Lippincott Co, pp 172-176, 252-256, 318-320, 1975 Zilberman U, Mass E, Sarnat H. Partial pulpotomy in carious permanent molars. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was completed after 6 months and 1 and 2 years postoperatively. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Oral and Dentistry Database, Cochrane, and CINAHL plus. It was concluded that the present, as well as previously reported results indicate that partial pulpotomy may be an adequate treatment for young permanent molars with a carious exposure, although more studies are needed before the treatment can be recommended for routine clinical use. … have reported that in partial pulpotomy of mature permanent teeth clinically diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, ProRoot MTA sustained a good success rate (85%) over the 2-year follow-up [18]. 3 They also noted that more than half of the calcium hydroxide cases failed within 2 years. Traditionally, pulpotomies are considered an emergency procedure for permanent mature teeth until root canal treatment can be accomplished.7 Several studies have assessed the outcome of MTA pulpotomy in symptomatic mature permanent teeth and their results have been promising. In another study, Asgary and Ehsani performed pulpotomy with new endodontic cement on 12 permanent … © 2019 American Association of Endodontists. Preoperative pain was a potential predictor (P < .05) for early failure. Moreover, in another study, Pro-Root MTA showed no radiographic signs of failure or clinical symptoms over a 2-year Postoperative periapical radiographs were taken after placement of the permanent restoration.

This study aimed to assess the outcome of partial pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) compared with calcium hydroxide (CH) in mature cariously exposed permanent molars. Taha NA, Khazali MA. The treatment options starts from indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, full pulpotomy, apex genesis, apexification and ending up with revitalization. Pulpotomy In Adults Pulp, the innermost portion of a tooth, is made up of blood vessels and nerves. The partial pulpot- omy for carious exposures is a procedure in which the inflamed pulp tissue beneath an exposure is removed to a depth of one to three millimeters or deeper to reach healthy pulp tissue. Clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of irreversible pulpitis were established in all teeth. In these situations, dentists may opt to do a pulpotomy. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Our study is the first to report the long-term outcome of pulpotomy using a tricalcium silicate cement (Biodentine) in mature permanent teeth for up to 5 years; other studies13, 14, 15, 22 have mostly involved teeth in younger patients and shorter follow-up periods. Nessrin A. Taha, Mohammad A. Khazali, Partial Pulpotomy in Mature Permanent Teeth with Clinical Signs Indicative of Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial, Journal of Endodontics, 10.1016/j.joen.2017.03.033, 43, 9, (1417-1421), (2017). Pulpotomy in mature permanent cariously exposed teeth preserves the remaining pulp tissues, but long-term outcomes of the pulp and the restoration are unknown. Partial pulpotomy is a procedure in which the damaged and inflamed pulp tissue Sharawy WW, Ahmed HMA. Eleven late failures occurred between 2 and 4 years: 1 tooth with intact coronal restoration had pulp necrosis and asymptomatic apical periodontitis, 4 had recurrent caries resulting in asymptomatic apical periodontitis, 4 remained vital and only needed new restorations, 1 was unrestorable, and 1 was extracted for periodontal reasons. Materials for pulpotomy in immature permanent teeth: a systematic review and ... ure the partial or coronal pulp tissue is removed in order to ... mature permanent teeth. Partial pulpotomy is also indicated in young permanent teeth with pulp exposure due to caries, provided that the bleeding can be controlled within several minutes. However, neither of the latter two methods has given satisfactory results. Fifty-two patients (61 teeth) with a median age of 40 years (range, 21–75 years) were included in this study; 17 (32.7%) men and 35 (67.3%) women were treated and reviewed. However, emerging scientific evidence has shown that such teeth treated with pulpotomy as a first line of treatment provides increasingly predictable results. Preoperative pulpal and periapical diagnosis was established based on a history of presenting pain, … The objective of the present systematic review is to evaluate the success of pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth presented with irreversible pulpitis. Appropriate coronal restoration is critical to long-term success. Preoperative pulpal and periapical diagnosis was established based on a history of presenting pain, results of cold testing, and radiographic findings. Introduction: This study aimed to assess the outcome of partial pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) compared with calcium hydroxide (CH) in mature cariously exposed permanent molars. This is the first randomized clinical trial to combine mature teeth in adult patients with clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of irreversible pulpitis treated with partial pulpotomy. MTA partial pulpotomy sustained a good success rate over the 2-year follow-up in mature permanent teeth clinically diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. Carious pulp exposures in asymptomatic mature permanent teeth can be predictably managed by pulpotomy using a tricalcium silicate cement. It is a procedure in which the inflamed pulp tissue beneath an exposure is removed to a depth of 1 to … Overall pulp survival was 90.2% (95% confidence interval, 79.8%–96.3%); 6 teeth developed irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis when the restoration was intact. Partial Pulpotomy in Mature Permanent Teeth with Clinical Signs Indicative of Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial. None of the investigated clinical variables affected success rates significantly. Immediate failure occurred in 4 teeth. In 1998, Nosrat and Nosrat[11] performed partial pulpotomy on six permanent molars (four adolescents, 10–15 years of age, and two adults, 20 and 27 years of age) with deep carious lesions and pulpal involvement. A one year follow-up of partial pulpotomy and calcium hydroxide capping in primary molars. Partial pulpotomy was performed by amputating 2 mm of the exposed pulp, hemostasis was achieved, and the tooth was randomly assigned for the placement of either white MTA (White ProRoot; Dentsply, Tulsa, OK) or CH (Dycal; Dentsply Caulk, Milford, DE) as the pulpotomy agent. But other large-scale multicentered clinical trials are strongly encouraged to substantiate this hypothesis. This prospective study examined the immediate and long-term status of the pulp and the restored tooth and identified potential predictors of early and late failures in teeth that were asymptomatic or experiencing only mild symptoms at the time of treatment. Sex did not have a statistically significant effect on the outcome. Pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth following carious pulpal exposure. In a review by Aguilar and Linsuwanont, the success rate for partial pulpotomy was 99.4% and for full pulpotomy was 99.3% in vital permanent teeth with closed apices . Partial pulpotomy has also been reported to be successful in treatment of pulps exposed by caries, in tempor- ary and permanent molars, although the number 238 of treated permanent teeth is rather limited (7=9 The aim of the present study was, therefore, further to evaluate the outcome of partial pulpotomy Of pulps exposed bv excavation in, posterior permanent teeth with deep carious lesion. At 1 year, MTA showed a higher tendency toward success compared with the CH group, and the difference was statistically significant after 2 years (83% vs 55%, P = .052 at 1 year; 85% vs 43%, P = .006 at 2 years). immature permanent teeth; extending the borders of indication towards cariously exposed immature permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis may abolish the necessity of pulpectomy.
