ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the outcomes and factors influencing the success of vital pulp treatment (VPT) in permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure and signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis (IP). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Dental records from 2016 to 2023 of patients who received VPT for carious pulp-exposed permanent teeth with IP symptoms were reviewed. Outcomes were assessed using clinical and radiographic criteria. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors affecting treatment success. The Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to compare survival probabilities.RESULTS:
The overall success and survival rates were 88.24% and 97.06%, respectively. Success rates for direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, and full pulpotomy were 87.7%, 92.0%, and 87.7%, respectively. Key factors influencing outcomes included the presence of periapical radiographic lesions, type of pulp dressing material, and quality of the final restoration. Full pulpotomy demonstrated the highest survival time, followed by partial pulpotomy and direct pulp capping.CONCLUSION:
VPT in permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure and IP symptoms shows high success rates. Crucial factors include periapical radiographic findings, type of pulp dressing material, and quality of the final restoration. Full pulpotomy exhibited the longest survival time. CLINICAL RELEVANCE VPT in teeth with IP symptoms shows promising outcomes, highlighting the importance of certain clinical factors in treatment success.Palavras-chave
