Abstract
A 36-month retrospective study compared the results of vital pulp therapy based on the duration of pulp exposure for complicated crown fracture of 97 permanent canine teeth in 76 dogs. Postoperative oral and radiographic examinations were performed at 3, 12, and 36-months following treatment. Based on the 36-month postoperative examinations, 88.2 %, 41.4 %, and 23.5 % of teeth were vital when treated within 48-hours, 1-week, and 3-weeks of pulp exposure, respectively. There was a significant difference in the incidence of tooth vitality between groups. The duration of pulp exposure following complicated crown fracture influenced the success of vital pulp therapy. Vital pulp therapy should be performed as soon as possible following traumatic pulp exposure.
