Pulpotomy not inferior RCT for the management of acute irreversible pulpitis
Pulpotomy is not inferior to the conventional root canal treatment for the management of acute irreversible pulpitis in mature permanent teeth in adults suggests a recent study published in the Evidence-based dentistry.
Only four studies fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
The results indicate that the clinical success rate of pulpotomy was comparable to root canal treatment while the radiographic success rate was higher in pulpotomy.
