Vital pulp therapy for immature teeth with carious exposure promotes continued root development (maturogenesis). A direct pulp cap using calcium hydroxide with iodoform paste successfully allowed further root maturation.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Treating immature teeth with carious pulp exposure aims to achieve continued root development (maturogenesis).
  • Vital pulp therapy is crucial for allowing the root to attain full maturity.

Observation:

  • A case report details the treatment of an immature tooth with a carious pulp exposure.
  • A direct pulp capping procedure was performed using calcium hydroxide with iodoform paste.

Findings:

  • The treatment facilitated root development (maturogenesis), extending beyond simple apexogenesis (root end closure).
  • Continued root dentin formation was observed post-treatment.

Implications:

  • This approach supports preserving pulp vitality in immature teeth, enabling further root maturation.
