Integrating Non-surgical Endodontic Therapy With Vital Pulp Therapy as a Promising Approach: A Case Report.

Area of Science:

• Endodontics
• Restorative Dentistry
• Dental Traumatology

Background:

• Apical periodontitis and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis often necessitate root canal therapy, a conventional yet invasive treatment.
• Vital pulp therapy offers a less invasive alternative for irreversible pulpitis, focusing on preserving radicular pulp vitality.
• Minimally invasive dentistry principles guide the search for conservative treatment options.

Observation:

• A case involving a tooth with apical periodontitis and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis was treated.
• The treatment integrated non-surgical endodontic therapy with vital pulp therapy.
• This approach aimed to address infection and inflammation while maintaining pulp vitality.

Findings:

• The combined therapy successfully managed infection and inflammation associated with apical periodontitis and irreversible pulpitis.
• Preservation of radicular pulp vitality was achieved through the integrated treatment approach.
• The minimally invasive strategy demonstrated potential for favorable treatment outcomes.

Implications:

• Integrating non-surgical endodontic therapy with vital pulp therapy offers a promising alternative to conventional root canal therapy.
• This combined approach may lead to enhanced long-term treatment success and improved patient outcomes.
• Further research into minimally invasive endodontic techniques is warranted to optimize dental treatments.
