Hyperplastic pulpitis is an irreversible type of pulpitis that primarily affects young patients. It occurs when an inflamed pulp becomes exposed due to factors such as dental caries, dental trauma, or other causes. Root canal treatment is commonly employed to manage hyperplastic pulpitis. However, vital pulp therapy can be considered as a less invasive option. The main objective of this treatment is to preserve the vitality and functionality of the remaining pulp tissue. This case report discusses the potential management of hyperplastic pulpitis in an immature molar using vital pulp therapy instead of a full root canal treatment. The report includes clinical and radiographic follow-up at six and twelve months.

Microscopic alterations in the dental pulp of dogs have not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to investigate microscopic alterations of the dental pulp in dogs' teeth. One hundred and ten surgically extracted teeth (20 incisors, 23 canines, 28 premolars, and 39 molars) from 74 dogs, of different ages, with a history of chronic periodontitis (66 dogs), periapical abscesses (2 dogs), pulpitis (2 dogs), oral cavity neoplasms (2 dogs), dens invaginatus (1 dog), and dental fractures (1 dog) were included.

Aim: The development of postoperative pain following root canal instrumentation may impair patient’s comfort and undermine their trust in the dentist. This study assessed the effect of root canal instrumentation techniques (rotary (PTN; ProTaper Next®) and reciprocating (R; Reciproc®)) on the postoperative pain intensity (primary outcome) and tenderness on biting (secondary outcome) of patients’ asymptomatic molars. Methodology: This study protocol was registered with ReBec-WHO (U1111-1182-2800).

Root canal therapy (RCT) is a common and successful treatment for irreversible pulpitis due to carious pulp exposure in mature permanent teeth. However, it is often an expensive procedure, may require multiple appointments, and requires a high level of training and clinical skill, specifically in molars. Uninsured patients, low-income patients, and patients with limited access to specialist care often elect for extraction of restorable teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
