A pulpotomy is a way of preserving primary teeth from carious lesions and damage before the naturalexfoliation. It is also the most controversial treatment in pediatric dentistry. The success rate of pulp therapyin the primary tooth depends mostly on early pulp diagnosis, pulp vitality prevention, pulp vascularization &periradicular status. New biomaterials that are more biocompatible have changed the frame of mind towardsthe prevention of cariously exposed teeth.
