Post-Operative Pain and Its Relationship with Patient-Related Factors after Vital Pulpotomy in Teeth with Symptomatic Pulpitis: A Prospective Clinical Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective: Postoperative pain during endodontic treatment can impair patient comfort and complicate clinical management, particularly in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Vital pulpotomy treatment (VPT) is less invasive than total pulpectomy for symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Subject

This study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain in patients after VPT of permanent molars with symptomatic pulpitis and explore the relationship between postoperative pain and patient-related factors.

Methods

A total of 114 patients, aged 7-39, were included. Permanent molars (n = 114) with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (periapical index ≤2) were selected. Preoperative pain levels, analgesic intake, and demographic data were recorded. All participants underwent a standardized pulpotom
