Vital pulpotomy in children
Service Description
Vital Pulpotomy in Children Vital pulpotomy is a dental procedure used to treat the tooth pulp in children, where only the affected coronal portion of the nerve is removed while the root pulp remains alive and preserved. This method helps maintain the tooth’s vitality, prevent complications, and ensure its normal development. When the Procedure Is Used Vital pulpotomy is applied in cases of deep caries or early stages of pulpitis in both primary teeth and permanent teeth with incomplete root formation. After removing the inflamed tissue, the dentist places a medicated dressing that promotes healing and protects the pulp from infection, followed by secure filling of the tooth. Comfort and Pain Control The procedure is painless, thanks to modern local anesthesia. At iDenta, our doctors work in a friendly and comfortable environment, ensuring that young patients feel calm and confident throughout the treatment. Purpose and Benefits The goal of vital pulpotomy is to preserve the tooth for as long as possible, support proper jaw development, and promote the healthy eruption of permanent teeth in the future. Healthy Smile, Healthy Growth Don’t delay treatment — timely vital pulpotomy helps prevent tooth extraction and keeps your child’s smile healthy and bright!
