Abstract: | IntroductionComplete pulpotomy is the removal of the coronal portion of a vital pulp and is a means of preserving the vitality of the remaining root portion. The objective of this study was to evaluate the 12-months success rate of complete pulpotomy with Biodentine on mature permanent molars with signs and symptoms of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.Materials and methodsA total of 68 molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in 68 patients aged 20 years and older were included in this study. The exclusion criteria were intraoperative clinical signs of pulp necrosis on the molar to be treated such as no bleeding, or uncontrollable pulp hemorrhage (more than 5 minutes of hemostasis) on at least 1 canal. A complete pulpotomy with Biodentine was performed on molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis by the same operator and with the same protocol. A 12-months postoperative follow-up was conducted to evaluate clinical and radiologic success.ResultsA total of 66 patients received complete pulpotomy; 52 could be examined 12 months postoperatively. Clinical and radiologic analysis at 12 months postoperatively revealed a success rate of 87% (45 of 52 molars) and a failure rate of 13% (7 of 52 molars). There was a relationship between age, tooth type, and preoperative periapical condition and treatment success with P < .05.ConclusionCompliance with the indications and protocol for complete pulpotomy with Biodentine on mature permanent molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis gives positive results at the 12-month follow-up. |
