This session will cover current literature on the clinical and radiographic outcome of vital pulp therapy procedures with particular focus on full pulpotomy. Among the issues that will be covered are patient's and tooth related factors, technical procedure, material selection, and their effect on the outcome. Results from clinical trials performed with standardized protocols at Jordan University of Science and Technology will be presented.
In addition this session will cover the available evidence on pulpotomy as an alternative to root canal therapy.

Learning Objectives:

Define the limitation of availble diagnostic modalities for the state of pulp inflammation and its healing potential.
Describe biological basis for VPT procedures and draw cut off points for the selection of pulp capping and pulpotomy
Analyze available literature on prognostic factors and outcome of VPT.
