Partial pulpotomy in crown‐fractured permanent incisor with hyperplastic pulpitis: a case report

Abstract

Hyperplastic pulpitis, which is regarded as one type of asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis, occurs usually in young teeth where pulps are exposed by caries or trauma. If apices are mature, root canal therapy is recommended. In this case, the success of partial pulpotomy in a crown-fractured permanent incisor with hyperplastic pulpitis, which had been contaminated with oral microflora for six months is reported.
