Vital pulp therapy (VPT), such as indirect pulp capping, direct pulp capping, partial and coronal pulpotomy, have demonstrated favourable outcomes in preserving tooth vitality and preventing premature tooth loss. Despite its benefits, VPT in young permanent teeth faces several challenges, including accurate diagnosis, the choice of biocompatible materials, restorations following VPT, and the risk of pulp obliteration.
This lecture provides an insightful comprehensive review of the promises offered by VPT in young permanent teeth, as well as the challenges that clinicians must address to optimise treatment success. It also highlights future directions for research aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of VPT and expanding its clinical applications.
