Partial pulpotomy with immediate (same-visit) permanent restoration vs Partial pulpotomy with delayed permanent restoration (7-14 days or >14 days): Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success)
- Population
- Adults (>=18 y) with mature permanent teeth and deep carious pulp exposure
- Intervention
- Partial pulpotomy with immediate (same-visit) permanent restoration
- Comparison
- Partial pulpotomy with delayed permanent restoration (7-14 days or >14 days)
- Outcome
- Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success)
Immediate permanent restoration after partial pulpotomy is associated with much higher success than delayed restoration (89.9% immediate vs 23.2% beyond 14 days; ungraded).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
