Partial pulpotomy vs Full (complete) pulpotomy

Patient- and clinical-reported outcomes (tooth survival, clinical/radiographic success, pain) · Asymptomatic permanent teeth with deep caries (no symptoms)

No studies compared partial versus full pulpotomy in asymptomatic permanent teeth with deep caries, so no evidence is available.

Dental cavity liner (e.g. calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, or flowable composite) placed under the restoration vs No cavity liner or a different liner material

Oral health-related quality of life · Patients with deep caries lesions in mature or immature permanent (posterior) teeth, with no symptoms or reversible pulpitis

No included study reported oral health-related quality of life (a planned outcome), so no evidence is available.

Radiographic proximal caries lesion progression · Children and adults with non-cavitated proximal (interproximal) caries lesions in primary and/or permanent teeth (ages 3-45)

No eligible studies compared microinvasive techniques with invasive (restorative) treatment; this planned comparison had zero included studies.

Partial pulpotomy vs Full (complete) pulpotomy

Oral health-related quality of life · Mature permanent (molar) teeth with deep caries and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis (spontaneous pain)

No included study reported oral health-related quality of life (a planned outcome), so no evidence is available.

Partial pulpotomy vs Full (complete) pulpotomy

Patient- and clinical-reported outcomes (tooth survival, clinical/radiographic success, pain) · Permanent teeth with deep caries and reversible pulpitis (non-spontaneous pain)

No studies compared partial versus full pulpotomy in permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis (non-spontaneous pain), so no evidence is available.
