  • Title: Delayed partial pulpotomy in a midroot and complicated crown-root-fractured permanent incisor with hyperplastic pulpitis: a case report.
    Author: Calişkan MK, Savranoğlu S.
    Journal: J Endod; 2010 Jul; 36(7):1250-3. PubMed ID: 20630310.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The occurrence of multiple injuries of the same tooth is extremely rare. This case report describes the treatment in a midroot and complicated crown-root-fractured permanent incisor that remained untreated for 4 years after the accident. METHODS: The tooth was treated by delayed partial pulpotomy using calcium hydroxide. RESULTS: At the 3-year follow-up after treatment, the tooth was still vital and functional without any clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: A young permanent tooth with hyperplastic pulpitis caused by trauma has a great inherent defensive capacity to heal after delayed partial pulpotomy despite adverse conditions.
