Post-Operative Pain After Vital Pulpotomy in Molars With Symptomatic Pulpitis

Vital pulpotomy involves the removal of the coronal pulp, while MTA is used to seal the root orifices. It is clear that vital pulp treatments for symptomatic pulpitis are a more reliable, cost-effective, and generally easier option than root canal treatment (RCT) once the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is introduced in dentistry. In vital pulpotomy, as opposed to RCT, tooth healing and symptoms are diminished while the vitality of the tooth is maintained. Furthermore, vital pulpotomy is a significantly more practical and economical treatment alternative than RCT.
