This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various vital pulp therapy (VPT) methods, such as direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, and total pulpotomy, in maintaining pulp vitality following pulp exposure. It explores the success rates of these treatments compared and investigates co-factors influencing these rates, including age. This prospective cohort study involves patients over 18 with restorable teeth and exposed pulp chambers. Success is measured through clinical and radiological criteria over a follow-up period of up to four years. The study also aims to identify if there's an age threshold affecting the preference for VPT over root canal therapy.
