Abstract :
This case report describes vital pulp therapy of a 13-year-old girlûs left mandibular first
molar with established irreversible pulpitis. Partial pulpotomy was performed and the remaining
pulp was capped with MTA. Tooth was restored with glass ionomer cement and composite resin.
Eighteen months clinical and radiographic follow-up revealed successful preservation of pulpal vitality.
