Cvek pulpotomy: report of a case with five-year follow-up.
Partial pulpotomy (Cvek pulpotomy) is the treatment of choice for injured permanent incisor teeth with exposed vital pulp tissue and immature apices. This treatment preserves pulpal function, thus allowing continued root development. The present report describes the case of a permanent incisor with incomplete root end closure that underwent a Cvek pulpotomy, with subsequent apical closure. Five years post pulp therapy, the tooth remained symptom free.
