Therapeutic Pulpotomy (Excluding Final Restoration)
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Therapeutic pulpotomy is a vital dental procedure primarily aimed at preserving the health of a tooth that has been compromised by deep decay or trauma, but where the damage has not extended to the roots. The main goal is to maintain the vitality of the affected tooth's pulp tissue. Unlike a full root canal treatment, therapeutic pulpotomy involves the partial removal of the affected pulp in the crown portion of the tooth while leaving the healthy root pulp intact.
This treatment is most commonly applied to children’s primary teeth but can also be used for permanent teeth under certain conditions. During the procedure, the dentist first administers a local anesthetic to numb the affected tooth. The decayed portion of the tooth and the inflamed pulp tissue in the crown section are then removed. A medicated dressing is placed over the remaining healthy pulp to promote healing and prevent bacterial infection. This is followed by the placement of a temporary filling.
Therapeutic pulpotomy is highly effective for managing pain and preventing further infection. It serves as an intermediate step between simpler dental restorations and more invasive treatments like root canal therapy. The procedure allows for the retention of the tooth's natural structure, which is beneficial for maintaining proper oral function and aesthetics.
Procedure Duration
The duration of a therapeutic pulpotomy can vary depending on the tooth's condition and the patient's overall dental health. Generally, the procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete. This timeframe allows the dentist to conduct a thorough examination, administer local anesthesia, and carefully remove the inflamed pulp tissue.
The procedure can be broken down into several phases. Initially, the dentist will clean and disinfect the tooth to remove any decay and debris. The second phase involves the removal of the inflamed pulp tissue from the crown section. Once this is completed, the medicated dressing is applied to facilitate the healing of the remaining pulp. The final phase includes the placement of a temporary filling to seal the tooth until a permanent restoration is completed.
Recovery after a therapeutic pulpotomy is usually quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort post-procedure. Any mild pain or sensitivity typically subsides within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid hard or sticky foods during the recovery period to ensure the temporary filling remains intact. Follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor healing and plan for the final restoration, which may include a crown or filling.

Risks & Considerations
- Post-Treatment Sensitivity: Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity in the treated tooth.
- Incomplete Pulp Removal: If not performed correctly, residual infected tissue can lead to further complications.
- Allergic Reaction: Rare allergic reactions to the medicated dressing or anesthesia may occur.
- Temporary Fix: A therapeutic pulpotomy may not be a permanent solution and could require further treatment.
- Failure to Heal: In some cases, the remaining pulp tissue may not heal as expected, necessitating a full root canal or extraction.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When selecting a doctor or dental clinic for a therapeutic pulpotomy, consider their qualifications, experience, and the technology they use. Look for a dentist who specializes in endodontics or has a strong background in pediatric dentistry if the procedure is for a child. Verify the clinic’s reputation by reviewing patient testimonials and third-party accreditation.
It is also essential to ensure the dental facility follows strict sterilization and hygiene protocols. Consulting with dental associations or seeking recommendations from trusted medical tourism networks can aid in making an informed decision. Prioritize clinics that offer comprehensive post-treatment care and transparent communication about costs and treatment plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
