Long-term follow-up of a complicated crown fracture treated by partial pulpotomy.
OBJECTIVE
To present the 7-year follow-up of a permanent incisor with complicated crown fracture, treated by partial pulpotomy.


CONCLUSIONS
A healthy permanent right central maxillary incisor with complicated crown fracture was treated by partial pulpotomy and reviewed clinically and radiographically for 7 years. At each recall, there was no spontaneous pain; the pulp showed signs of vitality and no periapical radiolucency developed.


CONCLUSIONS
Partial pulpotomy may be a successful permanent treatment in cases of complicated crown fracture.
