Abstract

Pulp tissue, a complex connective tissue housing nerves, blood vessels, and various cells, plays a vital role in formative, nutritive, sensory, and defensive functions within the tooth. In contemporary dental practice, the preservation of pulp vitality in deep carious lesions involving primary molars is a paramount consideration for long-term tooth health. Various treatment modalities exist for deep carious exposure of pulp, spanning from conservative approaches like vital pulp therapy (VPT), encompassing direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, and complete pulpotomy, to more invasive treatments like pulpotomy and root canal therapy. In the context of primary teeth, pulpotomy stands as a prevalent and valuable procedure for managing exposed pulp in children with carious primary molars. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry defines pulpotomy as the surgical removal of infected or affected pulp tissue, followed by the application of medication to the remaining vital pulp tissue. This intervention aims to preserve the functionality and vitality of the root pulp, either partially or entirely.
