Abstract:

Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) is a biologic and conservative treatment modality to preserve the vitality and function of the coronal or remaining radicular pulp tissue in vital permanent teeth. The most important biological target of these therapeutic solutions is the dentin bridge formation. Clinically, dentin bridge formation is valued by Rx analysis where the pulp chamber is reduced after 3-6 months from VPT therapy. Usually, clinical practice success on VPT procedure is made when no spontaneous pain is present. Clinical parameters to achieve success in VPT are not encoded. Aim of this lecture is to show the clinical methodic to achieve clinical success in VPT cases on permanent teeth.
