Abstract :
In modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (VPT) has been considered an ultra-conservative
treatment modality. Based on the level of pulp preservation, VPT includes stepwise excavation,
indirect pulp capping (IDPC), direct pulp capping (DPC), miniature pulpotomy (MP),
partial/Cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (CP). The present article reviews the
treatment outcomes of 94 permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis treated with either IDPC
(n=28), DPC (n=28), MP (n=29) or CP (n=9) using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement.
After a mean follow-up time of 12.3 months, 93 treated teeth were radiographic/clinically
successful; only one radiographic failure was observed in the DPC group.
