Abstract:

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is a critical approach for preserving the function and vitality of mature permanent teeth. Current diagnostic paradigms are progressively shifting toward dynamic evaluation of pulp inflammatory status and reparative potential. However, clinical symptoms of affected teeth often diverge from true histopathological conditions, leading to uncertainties in determining pulp preservation extent and the prognosis during VPT, which poses challenges for precise treatment of irreversible pulpitis. This article systematically reviews the clinical diagnosis of VPT in cases of irreversible pulpitis, relevant molecular biomarkers, the role of pulp capping materials, and advances in prognostic evaluation, with the aim of providing evidence-based references for the precise clinical implementation of VPT.

Key words: Pulp status, Irreversible pulpitis, Vital pulp preservation treatment, Biomarkers, Pulp capping agent
