A Traumatized, Young Permanent Maxillary Central Incisor Treated by Partial Pulpotomy: A Case Report with Two-year Follow-up

In complicated crown fracture cases, preserving the vital dental pulp or part of it in a healthy state to promote root development and apical closure is the main goal in treating young permanent teeth. Partial pulpotomy in traumatized young permanent tooth is classically undertaken to lead to apexogenesis. Recent studies have proposed that as long as a good coronal seal is ensured, conventional root canal treatment may not be necessary following pulpotomy. This case report describes one case of traumatized-exposed immature tooth, which have been treated with calcium hydroxide following partial pulpotomy, with a two-year follow-up.
