Abstract
The partial pulpotomy can offer a superb outcome for the treatment of traumatic complicated crown fractures. The procedure is often used for dental trauma in children when the major aim of treatment is to preserve tooth vitality while providing a favorable environment for continued root development. The purpose of this paper was to review scientific evidence supporting partial pulpotomy and its high success rate and illustrate the clinical technique by presenting 2 challenging cases of complicated crown fractures with long-term follow-up.
