Effectiveness of Pulpotomy in Symptomatic Permanent Teeth With Deep Caries Lesions

Preservation of pulp tissue would allow it to continue to exert its defensive and physiological functions and more tooth tissue would be preserved, leading to less weakening of the tooth. In addition, root canal treatment is a more complex therapeutic process that requires the use of more instruments, more time and more visits. To date, most clinical studies that have evaluated the success of pulpotomy treatments have been conducted on teeth with immature apexes. More studies are needed to evaluate VPT success in the permanent dentition in the long term. In accordance with the above, the main objective of the study will be to determine the success of partial or total pulpotomy treatment in permanent teeth (\>18 adults) with a closed apex and symptoms compatible with irreversible pulpitis. At the same time, the association of factors related to the patient, the treated tooth and specific treatment factors with the success of pulpotomies will be determined. On the other hand, the patient, perception and satisfaction with the treatment received will be evaluated. All treatments (pulpotomies and restorations) will be carried out by the principal investigator. After recording the preoperative data, clinical and radiographic examination, a diagnosis will be made according to the classification of Wolters and collaborators , which will also guide us in the choice of pulp treatment: PP o CP Partial pulpotomy or complete pulpotomy. The maximum pulp haemostasis time will be 1…
