Objective:

To explore contemporary pulpotomy techniques in primary molars, emphasizing biologically driven vital pulp therapy and the critical role of calcium silicate-based medicaments in enhancing treatment outcomes.

Key Findings:
  • Calcium silicate-based medicaments support healing and preserve radicular pulp vitality.
  • Modern pulpotomy techniques yield improved clinical outcomes compared to traditional methods.
  • Accurate diagnosis and careful case selection are critical for treatment success, alongside effective restorative strategies.
Interpretation:

The shift towards biologically driven treatment strategies in pediatric dentistry reflects advancements in understanding pulpal biology, emphasizing the importance of maintaining pulp vitality and improving clinical outcomes.

Limitations:
  • Reliance on patient-reported symptoms may lead to inaccurate assessments, affecting treatment planning.
  • Variability in clinical outcomes with traditional materials like ferric sulfate and formocresol highlights the need for ongoing evaluation of treatment efficacy.
Conclusion:

Contemporary pulpotomy, when combined with bioactive materials and appropriate restorative techniques, is a reliable treatment for primary teeth with deep carious lesions, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis and case selection.
