Pulpotomy for mature carious teeth with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis: A systematic review.
Management of carious teeth with signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis is traditionally invasive, but emerging evidence suggests successful treatment outcomes with less invasive vital pulp treatment such as coronal pulpotomy. The objective of this systematic review is to determine whether coronal pulpotomy is clinically effective in treating carious teeth with signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis. ⋯ Management of carious teeth with irreversible pulpitis is traditionally invasive, but emerging evidence suggests potentially successful treatment outcomes with less invasive therapies such as coronal pulpotomy.
