Inflamed vital pulp therapy of young permanent teeth with chronic periapical inflammation:a case report
Objective To report the clinical manifestations,radiographic features,and treatment course of a case(a 7-year-old child)of chronic periapical periodontitis on the first permanent molar.Methods A child diag-nosed with chronic apical periodontitis of the first permanent molar was finally treated with inflammatory vital pulp preservation after detailed clinical examination,imaging and intraoperative observation of the pulpal status.Results After 4 years of follow-up,it was found that the roots of the first permanent molar continued to develop,the apical foramen was closed,and the periapical shadow disappeared,indicating that the treatment was success-ful.Conclusion When a young permanent tooth is diagnosed with apical periodontitis,a combination of other as-pects such as imaging and intraoperative observation of the pulpal status may be considered in order to get a com-plete picture of the condition of the pulp.Inflammatory vital pulp preservation may be attempted first to preserve the root's opportunity for continued physiologic development.
