Abstract
Cvek pulpotomy is a conservative vital pulp therapy that consists of removing approximately 2 mm inflamed coronal pulp and placing biocompatible material over the underlying pulp tissue. This technique is suitable for treating traumatic injured immature teeth with pulp exposure. This case report presents a 9 year-old boy suffered from complicated crown fracture on tooth #11 two days ago and received Cvek pulpotomy with MTA dressing. Two mm of coronal pulp tissue from the exposure site was surgically removed, followed with normal saline irrigation and 2.5% NaOCl cotton pellets hemostais for 1 minute. Gray MTA was placed over the pulp stump, and GIC was then used for coronal seal. After 28 months follow-up, clinically no symptoms and signs were observed. Periapical x-ray revealed complete root formation, and electric pulp test (EPT) showed positive response.
