Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of vital pulp therapy in the treatment of chronic hyperplastic pulpitis in young permanent teeth.

Methods

The pulpotomy was used in two cases of young permanent teeth with chronic hyperplastic pulpitis. Combined with literature review, the pathological basis, indications, key operational points, and restorative strategies were discussed.

Results

After a follow-up of 12 to 30 months, the two teeth maintained favorable pulp vitality. Radiographic examination revealed no periapical abnormalities, and continued root development was observed in case 2.

Conclusions

Under strict indication control, vital pulp therapy provides a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for chronic hyperplastic pulpitis in young permanent teeth, which helps preserve pulp vitality and promote root development.
