Mta pulpotomy associated apexogenesis of human permanent molar with irreversible pulpitis : a case report

Primary goal of all restorative treatment is to maintain pulp vitality so that normal root development or apexogenesis can occur. If pulpal exposure occurs, then a pulpotomy procedure aims to preserve pulp vitality to allow for normal root development. Recently, an alternative material called mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has demonstrated the ability to induce hard-tissue formation in pulpal tissue. Therefore this case report describes a case of a young permanent molar with incomplete root formation treated with MTA pulpotomy.
