Partial Pulpotomy of Immature Anterior Permanent Teeth with Complicated Crown Fractures: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Aim: This report aims to present the application of partial pulpotomy procedures in fractured maxillary central incisors with immature roots. The application of this treatment approach in fractured immature permanent teeth is advantageous but a number of challenges exist particularly when the affected teeth are severed with complicated fractures
 Methodology: Two cases of complicated crown fractures are reported. A 7-year-old male patient with broken maxillary left central incisor tooth and 8-year-old female patient with fractured maxillary right and left central incisor teeth were referred to the clinic after trauma. Partial pulpotomies were performed and MTA was applied directly onto the pulps.
 Results: Hard tissue barrier was observed after treatments.
 Conclusions: Partial pulpotomy is a valid treatment approach in which part of an exposed vital pulp is removed while preserving the vitality and function of the remaining part.
