Basra University holds a scientific lecture
Vital Pulp therapy of Mature Permanent Teeth With (Irreversible Pulpit is Case Reports).
The College of Dentistry at the University of Basra, in cooperation with the Continuing Education Unit, held a scientific lecture on reports of the results of vital pulp therapy (VPT) for the management of permanent teeth with symptoms that indicate irreversible pulpitis.
Assistant lecturer Batoul Bassem Moanis pointed out in his lecture about preserving the tooth pulp using bioceramic putty, which in turn preserves the structure and vitality of the teeth instead of treating them using root fillings, which in the long run causes weakness in the structure of the teeth due to the loss of tooth vitality.
The lecturer explained that this method of treatment depends on the appropriate selection of the case, sterilization, and the materials used to cover the tooth’s pulp, all of which are mandatory to achieve success.
The lecturer explained the cases that were presented after being followed up from 6 months to a year and a half, showing the success of the vital pulp treatment in terms of the disappearance of the signs that were the reason for patients reviewing these teeth, as well as the success of the cases in terms of (clinical evaluation) and radiographic evaluation, which were normal.
However, it requires a longer period of follow-up to ensure the success of cases in the long term.
