About the Procedure

What Is a Pulpotomy?

A pulpotomy is a pediatric dental procedure that removes the infected or inflamed portion of the nerve (pulp) in the crown of a baby tooth, while leaving the healthy pulp in the roots undisturbed. It is often described as a "partial nerve treatment" for children.

This conservative approach relieves pain from deep decay while preserving the tooth's function until it naturally exfoliates. At PRALASH, pulpotomy is performed gently, with techniques tailored specifically for young patients.

Step-by-Step

How Pulpotomy Works

Examination & X-ray

We assess the decay depth and confirm the root pulp is healthy enough to be preserved.

Gentle Local Anaesthesia

The tooth and gum are numbed comfortably using techniques suited for young children.

Pulp Removal

The infected coronal pulp is removed and the area is disinfected, leaving healthy root pulp intact.

Medication & Sealing

A soothing medicament is placed over the remaining pulp before the tooth is sealed.

Crown Placement

A stainless steel or tooth-coloured crown restores full strength and function to the tooth.

Treatment Options

Types of Pulpotomy

Formocresol Pulpotomy

A time-tested medicated technique widely used to treat the remaining root pulp after coronal removal.

MTA Pulpotomy

Mineral trioxide aggregate is used as a biocompatible medicament with excellent long-term success rates.

Indirect Pulp Capping

For very deep cavities close to the nerve, a protective layer is placed to avoid exposing the pulp entirely.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A pulpotomy is the removal of the infected or inflamed upper (coronal) portion of a baby tooth's nerve, while the healthy pulp in the roots is left intact. It relieves pain and lets the tooth remain functional until it naturally falls out.

Not exactly. A pulpotomy removes only the infected nerve tissue in the crown of the tooth, whereas a full root canal (pulpectomy in children) removes pulp from the crown and the entire root canal system.

No. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia so your child feels no pain. Most children tolerate it well and resume normal activities the same day.

Yes, typically. A stainless steel or tooth-coloured crown is placed after pulpotomy to protect the weakened tooth structure and restore normal chewing function until the tooth exfoliates naturally.

A successful pulpotomy allows the baby tooth to function normally until it is naturally replaced by the permanent tooth, which may be anywhere from a few months to several years depending on the child's age.

Pulpotomy typically costs ₹1,500-₹3,500, with a stainless steel crown adding ₹1,500-₹3,000 if needed. Call +91 99005 17699 for an exact quote after examination.
