Context: Pulpotomy is a procedure in which part of an exposed vital pulp is removed, usually as a means of preserving the vitality and function of the remaining part.

Aim: The aim is to compare the effectiveness of Dycal (CH), EndoSequence, and Titanium-prepared platelet-rich fibrin with EndoSequence (T-PRF) as pulpotomy agents in mature permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis.

Settings And Design: Sixty permanent mandibular molars with carious exposure and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis were randomly allocated to three groups. Read More

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare, radiographically and clinically, the impacts of calcium-silicate based-cement (CSBC), nano-hydroxyapatite and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as pulpotomy agents in permanent immature molars with incomplete root development. Sixty-three participants (63 permanent immature molars) were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into three equal groups. Read More

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and effectiveness of pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with bioceramic putty repairmen iRoot and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).

Methods: Pulpotomy was performed on mature permanent premolars and molars with carious exposures at the Department of General Dentistry of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, from November 2017 to September 2019. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, Group iRoot (=22) and Group MTA (=21). Read More

Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.

Background And Aims: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of partial pulpotomy treatments using different biocompatible materials which were Biodentine, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and calcium hydroxide (CH) in cariously exposed pulp tissue in immature permanent molars.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-four teeth of 50 patients, which had cariously pulp exposures were randomly divided into Biodentine, MTA, and CH groups for partial pulpotomy treatments and finally restored with stainless steel crowns at the same appointment. Clinical and radiographical success was evaluated by the absence of any clinical and radiographical signs and symptoms for 12 months. Read More
