Abstract:

Pulpotomy of primary molars is a minimally invasive clinical treatment for deep caries or pulpitis in primary molars, which involves the removal of the diseased or infected coronal pulp to preserve the healthy radicular pulp. In recent years, with in-depth study on the biological characteristics of primary molar pulp and the rapid development of treatment techniques and biomaterials, pulpotomy of primary molars has been widely applied in clinical pediatric dentistry. This article reviews the indications, factors affecting success rates, and efficacy evaluation of pulpotomy for primary molars.

Key words: primary molars, pulp preservation, pulpotomy
