Direct pulp capping with Biodentine successfully preserved pulp vitality in an immature molar, promoting dentine bridge formation and continued root development over six months.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Endodontics

Background:

  • Managing deep carious lesions in immature teeth while preserving pulp vitality presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Bioactive cements offer a promising approach for treating such cases, particularly in direct pulp capping procedures.

Observation:

  • A case report details the management of an extensive carious lesion with pulp exposure on an immature mandibular molar.
  • Direct pulp capping was performed using Biodentine, a calcium silicate-based cement.

Findings:

  • A 6-month clinical and radiographic follow-up confirmed the tooth's vitality.
  • Evidence of dentine bridge formation within the pulp chamber and continuous root development was observed.
  • Biodentine demonstrated efficacy in inducing hard tissue formation, protecting the pulp complex.
