Purpose: This study compared the outcome of partial pulpotomies with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or calcium hydroxide (CH) following hemorrhage control with 2.5 percent sodium hypochlorite (SH) or 0.9 percent sterile saline (SS) solutions in cariously exposed immature permanent molars.
Methods: Following removal of two to three mm of the pulp at the exposure site, 80 Class I cavities were randomly allocated to four groups according to the hemorrhage control agent and pulp-capping material used: (1) group one-SH plus MTA; (2) group two-SS plus MTA; (3) group three-SH plus CH; (4) group four-SS plus CH. Glass ionomer cement was applied over the pulp-capping material, and the teeth were later restored with composite resin. The patients were recalled at six, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Results: After 24 months, simultaneous radiographic and clinical success rates were 94.4 percent, 100 percent, 95 percent, and 100 percent for groups one to four, respectively (P>.05). No significant correlation was found between marginal integrity scores of restorations and partial pulpotomy failure (P>.05).
Conclusions: Partial pulpotomy, performed with MTA or CH used as the pulp-capping material following hemostasis with SH or SS solutions, provided comparable and favorable outcomes in carious pulp exposures of immature permanent teeth.

Objective: To investigate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 3 years after partial pulpotomy with iRoot BP Plus in immature permanent teeth with complex crown fracture and to provide refe-rence for the clinical application.
Methods: The study was prospectively designed and 104 immature permanent teeth with complex crown fracture were randomly allocated into two groups (=52). The experiment group received iRoot BP Plus as the pulp capping agent while the control group received calcium hydroxide as the pulp capping agent.

Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Background: A Partial pulpotomy technique is an alternative choice of treatment for immature permanent teeth with exposed vital pulps. This study aimed to compare the histopathological pulpal response of the primary teeth of puppies after partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
Materials And Methods: 72 primary premolars from experimental puppies aged 6-8 weeks were equally divided into test and control groups, as MTA partial pulpotomy (MTA-PP) and MTA full pulpotomy (MTA-FP).

Article Synopsis
- This case report details a new, less invasive technique for treating internal root resorption (IRR) in a patient with serious tooth issues.
- A 32-year-old patient experienced rapid IRR progression and apical radiolucency one month after diagnosis.
- Instead of the standard root canal therapy, a partial pulpotomy was performed using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, leading to successful healing and no further issues over a two-year period.
