pulpotomy
Figure 1: (A) Conventional method for vital pulpotomy. Coronal pulp and dentin are completely lost.
(B) Local regeneration of dentin-pulp complex from residual pulp following vital pulpotomy. Several growth factors and scaffold are implanted into the pulp and dentin defect area. Residual root pulp and blood vessels are induced into the defect area, and dentin-like hard tissue is formed.
