Abstract
Vital pulp therapy is one of the least invasive and simplest and most economically acceptable treatment alternatives for immature teeth with pulpitis. The success rate of this treatment, with calcium silicate-based cements, ranges from 85% to 100%. Vital pulp therapy prevents the development of apical periodontitis and promotes normal root development, allowing the tooth to remain in the dentition and perform its functions. The patient was a nine-year-old boy with pain on chewing and a positive response to cold. The panoramic radiograph showed an immature permanent lower molar with deep caries. Partial pulpectomy and root pulp sealing with pre-mixed calcium silicate-based cement were performed under aseptic conditions. The absence of symptoms and the formation of roots with apical sealing were successfully achieved and observed by follow-up and radiographic control, making this treatment a viable option for immature teeth with pulpitis.
期刊介绍：
The Iranian Endodontic Journal (IEJ) is an international peer-reviewed biomedical publication, the aim of which is to provide a scientific medium of communication for researchers throughout the globe. IEJ aims to publish the highest quality articles, both clinical and scientific, on all aspects of Endodontics. The journal is an official Journal of the Iranian Center for Endodontic Research (ICER) and the Iranian Association of Endodontists (IAE). The Journal welcomes articles related to the scientific or applied aspects of endodontics e.g. original researches, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, review articles, clinical trials, case series/reports, hypotheses, letters to the editor, etc. From the beginning (i.e. since 2006), the IEJ was the first open access endodontic journal in the world, which gave readers free and instant access to published articles and enabling them faster discovery of the latest endodontic research.
