Vital Pulp Therapy and When to Differentiate the Treatment Plan Between Vital Pulp Therapy and RCT

Vital pulp therapy is a conservative dental treatment aimed at preserving the health and function of compromised pulp instead of removing it, as in root canal treatment. It is indicated for reversible pulpitis caused by caries, trauma, or restorative procedures and includes techniques such as direct and indirect pulp capping, partial and full pulpotomy. Accurate diagnosis of pulp status guides the choice between vital pulp therapy and root canal treatment, with conservative therapy preferred when the pulp retains healing potential and RCT required for irreversible damage. Success depends on careful case selection, precise caries removal, proper isolation, material choice such as MTA or Biodentin, and coronal sealing.
