Pulpotomy

Surgical Procedure

Pulpotomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed in children on a primary tooth with extensive decay but no evidence of root pathology. It is one of the minimally invasive endodontic techniques of vital pulp therapy, based on an improved understanding of the capacity of pulp tissue to heal and regenerate together with the availability of advanced endodontic materials.
