Vital pulp therapy (VPT) in mature permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure has been a matter of debate, with root canal therapy being the conventional standard of care. Previously reported negative outcomes for VPT in these teeth were based on data from studies that have used calcium hydroxide in direct pulp capping and partial and full pulpotomy. The introduction of hydraulic calcium silicate-based materials with sealing and bioactive potentials have opened a new era in VPT with more favorable results. Understanding the histopathology and histobacteriology of the cariously exposed pulp and the healing potential of the inflamed pulp could guide the decision-making process toward an ultraconservative management of these teeth. However, proper case selection, strict aseptic condition, capping material, and good coronal seal are crucial for long-term success.

Adolescence is defined as a population ranging from ten to nineteen years old. Permanent teeth in adolescents are of critical significance as they are actively involved in mastication, contribute to aesthetic appearance, play a role in pronunciation, and are integral to the growth and development of the stomatognathic system. Specifically, permanent teeth in adolescents comprise those with incomplete root development and those with complete root development but unstable gingival margin positions.

The mixed dentition stage is a vital period characterized by significant physiological changes, including jaw growth, the development and eruption of permanent teeth, the exfoliation of primary teeth, and the maturation of surrounding soft tissues. These processes collectively ensure functional, esthetic, and stable occlusion. Disruptions during this stage, such as the premature loss of deciduous teeth, can lead to spacing or crowding issues and affect the dental arch length and the position of permanent teeth.

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is an increasingly prevalent sensory disorder, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit beta 1 (AP2B1) has been indicated to be detectable in mature cochleae. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether AP2B1 is implicated in the progression of SNHL.

Aim: The objective of pulpotomy is to preserve the pulp vitality. However, the assessment of pulpal status following pulpotomy is often overlooked. This retrospective analysis aimed to compare the pulp responses to EPT (Electric pulp test) and cold test in mature permanent molars that have undergone either complete pulpotomy (CP) or partial pulpotomy (PP) for managing carious pulpal exposure and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) and completed 12 months follow-up.
