Biodentine Pulpotomy as a Treatment Modality for Tooth with Chronic Hyperplastic Pulpitis – A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Chronic hyperplastic pulpitis, which is also known as pulp polyp, occurs as a reparative response of pulp tissue in the presence of chronic pulpitis. Proliferative nature of diseased pulp indicates its favorable reparative potential. Nowadays, biodentine pulpotomy is emerging as an alternative to root canal treatment in cases of irreversible pulpitis in some selected cases. The present case report describes successful management of tooth affected with chronic hyperplastic pulpitis with biodentine pulpotomy. Patient was completely asymptomatic, and the tooth was free of any clinical and radiographic signs of inflammation and infection at follow-up visits after 3 and 6 months.
