Pulpotomy for treating primary molars with clinical symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis: A prospective single-arm pilot study
Objectives
Assess the treatment outcomes and pain relief afforded by full pulpotomy in vital primary molars with clinical symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis.
Methodology
This study was designed as a multi-centre, single-arm, prospective clinical trial registered under ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06149845). Fifty carious primary molars with clinical symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis and pulp intra-operatively assessed to be vital, underwent full coronal pulpotomy following a standardized procedural protocol. Haemostasis was achieved by moderately compressing a 2 % NaOCl-moistened sterile cotton pellet over the radicular pulp stumps for up to 6-minutes. A 2–3 mm layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was placed as the pulpotomy medicament and the tooth restored with a pre-formed metal crown. Pre- and post-operative pain scores were evaluated using a validated five-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed after 6-months. Treatment outcome effects of potential prognostic factors like age, gender, tooth type, site of caries, haemostasis time, and furcal radiolucency were also analysed.
Results
Intra-group analysis of VAS pain scores revealed significant pain reduction 24-h and 7-d after the pulpotomy treatment procedure. The 6-month post-treatment clinical and radiographic success rates of the pulpotomised primary molars were 100 % and 93.9 %, respectively. No significant association was evident between treatment outcomes and the investigated variables.
Conclusions
The pain relief afforded and the 6-month clinical and radiographic outcomes indicate that MTA pulpotomy is a successful treatment option for vital primary molars clinically diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis.
Clinical Significance
This study strengthens the currently available evidence for pulpotomy to be considered as an alternate treatment modality for cariously exposed vital primary molars presenting with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
