ABSTRACT
To assess the treatment effectiveness of vital inflamed pulp therapy (VIPT) in immature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. The faculty members in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, the Ninth People's Hospital were invited to submit consecutive VIPT cases from June 2015 to June 2016 (follow-up periods>12 months). The cases were retrospectively reviewed, clinical symptoms and radiographic changes in periapical radiolucency were evaluated, meanwhile, the data of radiographic changes such as apical diameter and root length were calculated and analyzed with ANOVA. Totally thirteen submitted patients/cases were included (6 males and 7 females) in the present study,. The average age of patients was (9.9±1.4) years old. The average follow-up time was (26.5±6.8) months (17-37 months). At the 12-month visit, all 13 treated teeth survived, 9 out of 11 teeth with apical periodontitis showed normal radiographic manifestation. At the 3, 6 and 12 months visits, the within-case percentage changes in apical diameter were (8.0±5.1)%, (24.1±9.1)% and (70.3±10.7)%, respectively, while the within-case percentage changes in root length were (11.4±9.8)%, (14.5±9.8)% and (27.4±14.2)%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the changes of apical diameter (F=18.80, P<0.001) and root length (F=4.64, P=0.047) from the preoperative time to the postoperative follow-ups. VIPT might improve clinical outcomes, even achieve continued root development. VIPT can be an option in treating immature teeth with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis.
