Abstract

Full pulpotomy in permanent teeth aims for remaining the vital pulp in the root canals and relieving pain from acute pulpitis which is an alternative treatment for vital pulp therapy. These case reports demonstrate 3 patients who were 56, 57 and 13 years old, respectively. They were diagnosed with the proper condition and were received the treatment by using calcium hydroxide, according to the treatment protocols.  At 27 to 79 months follow-up, the treatment outcomes were succeeded, none of the patients experienced spontaneous pain, and the radiographic evaluation revealed normal periapical areas.  Consequently, vital pulp therapy with full pulpotomy by using calcium hydroxide is an effective and appropriate treatment for the patients.
