Abstract

Management of deep caries has traditionally been with complete caries removal followed by root canal therapy. Minimally invasive procedures like Pulpotomy have come to the forefront ever since the introduction of highly biocompatible calcium silicate based materials even in mature teeth. There is increasing evidence of success with pulpotomy in mature,irreversibly inflamed teeth provided the case selection is accurate ,proper asepsis is maintained, and hemostasis is achievable. This case report demonstrates clinical and radiographic success of a case with signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis ,treated by a conservative procedure of complete pulpotomy. Keywords: Pulpotomy; vital pulp therapy; mineral trioxide aggregate; chronic irreversible pulpitis; mature tooth; complete pulpotomy
