Vital pulp therapy following pulpotomy in immature permanent teeth with carious exposure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of vital pulp therapy (VPT) with the use of iRoot BP Plus (Innovative Bioceramics, Vancouver, Canada) for immature permanent teeth of patients aged from 6 to 10 years with pulp exposure resulting from dental caries and determine the impact of preoperative factors on VPT. Forty-six immature permanent teeth with dental caries underwent pulpotomy using iRoot BP Plus following a standardized protocol. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted on the first 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery, then annually afterward. Successful treatment outcomes were defined based on clinical and radiographic evaluations. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher exact test, with p < 0.05 considered for statistical significance. Forty-four patients included in this study were 8.48 ± 1.49 years old and were followed up for 6 to 36 months. The overall success rate of pulpotomy was found to be 90.9% (40/44). None of the physical examination findings and symptoms significantly affected VPT prognosis (p > 0.05). Immature permanent teeth with caries-induced pulp exposed in patients aged 6 to 10 years can be effectively treated with pulpotomy using iRoot sBP Plus.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
