Abstrakt: Background: Vital pulp therapy is gaining traction in dental practice, especially for young patients.
Aim: To evaluate the outcomes of partial pulpotomy in permanent molars of children diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis (IP) using iRoot BP Plus.
Design: A total of 94 permanent molars in 88 patients, aged 6-15 years, with symptoms of IP, were treated with partial pulpotomy, using iRoot BP Plus as the pulp capping agent. The treated teeth underwent clinical and radiographic assessments at 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperative. The outcomes were determined based on clinical and radiographic criteria by calibrated examiners.
Results: The success rates were 98.4% (63/64), 93.2% (41/44), and 89.7% (26/29) at the 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month follow-up. By the end of this study, the median follow-up period was 15.1 months, and the estimated survival rate was 95.2% at 24 months. Gender, root maturity, and number of missing walls had no significant effect on success rates. Six molars were failed, and root canal therapy (RCT) was applied.
Conclusions: Partial pulpotomy for permanent molars with IP in young patients using iRoot BP Plus as pulp capping material achieved high success. This method presents a viable alternative to apexification and RCT for treating vital, inflamed molars with IP in children.
