Post-operative pain and success rate after pulpotomy with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis: A review.

Abstract

It has long been assumed that permanent teeth with a diagnosis of "irreversible pulpitis" had an irreparably damaged dental pulp. Pulpotomy, a crucial pulp treatment operation that is frequently disregarded, has recently resurfaced as a less invasive procedure. In endodontics, promoting less invasive procedures aimed at preserving pulp vitality has emerged as a top objective. Permanent teeth with exposed carious pulp can be effectively treated with pulpotomy. Therefore, it is of interest to review the success rate and post-operative pain following pulpotomy in adult permanent molars that are cariously exposed.
