Hyperplastic pulpitis is an irreversible type of pulpitis that primarily affects young patients. It occurs when an inflamed pulp becomes exposed due to factors such as dental caries, dental trauma, or other causes. Root canal treatment is commonly employed to manage hyperplastic pulpitis. However, vital pulp therapy can be considered as a less invasive option. The main objective of this treatment is to preserve the vitality and functionality of the remaining pulp tissue. This case report discusses the potential management of hyperplastic pulpitis in an immature molar using vital pulp therapy instead of a full root canal treatment. The report includes clinical and radiographic follow-up at six and twelve months.
增生性牙髓炎是一种不可逆性牙髓炎,主要影响年轻患者。当牙髓因龋齿、牙外伤或其他原因等因素暴露而发炎时就会发生。根管治疗通常用于治疗增生性牙髓炎。然而,活髓治疗可被视为一种侵入性较小的选择。这种治疗的主要目的是保留剩余牙髓组织的活力和功能。本病例报告讨论了使用活髓治疗而非完全根管治疗来处理未成熟磨牙增生性牙髓炎的可能性。该报告包括6个月和12个月时的临床及影像学随访情况。
