CE Hours: 1.0

Description: Vital pulp therapy offers a promising approach to significantly prolong the lifespan of a tooth. Over the past decade, the evidence and outcomes associated with vital pulp treatment have evolved substantially. In 2021, the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) released a new position paper on this topic, providing a foundation for updated practices. This presentation will build on that foundation to highlight key aspects of vital pulp therapy, with a primary focus on managing teeth with carious exposures and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Through case-based analysis, it will explore treatment options grounded in evidence-based protocols. Additionally, the presentation will address common challenges to implementation, such as coding, scheduling, and material selection.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Identify appropriate teeth for various treatment options and understand the expected outcomes for each approach.
  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the essential steps involved in performing vital pulp therapy.
  • Evaluate the key prognostic factors that influence the success of vital pulp treatment.
