Background: Pulpotomy is a treatment method that can be
performed in mature and immature young permanent teeth
in case the pulp of vital tooth is exposed as a result of caries
or trauma. Goal of the treatment to ensure that the healthy
and vital radicular pulp remains after removal of the infected
coronal pulp of the young permanent tooth of which apical
Forman is closed.
Case Report: An 11-year-
old
male patient complaining of
night pain in the tooth number 46. On intraoral and radiographic
examination, it was observed that the caries was close
to the pulp tissue, that the root development was completed,
that there were changes in the periapical area. After removing
the carious tissue, coronal pulpotomy with Biodentine®
was performed, as the bleeding from the exposure site could
not be stopped from the coronal pulp. The tooth was restored
with stainless steel crown. On 5 months of follow-up,
the
tooth was found to be asymptomatic.
Discussion: Coronal pulpotomy treatment is a treatment
method that is used successfully, especially for immature and
mature young permanent teeth.
Conclusion: After pulpotomy treatment with biocompatible
materials such as Biodentine and restoration with impermeable
materials was successful in symptomatic young permanent
teeth with completed root development.
