AbstractObjectives: Preservation of pulpal vitality in immature permanent teeth with deep carious lesions is essential to enable further root development and apical closure. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the evidence regarding the efficacy, presented clinical and radiographic success, and bacteriological outcomes of techniques and materials used for deep caries management in vital immature permanent teeth. Data: Randomised controlled trials evaluating Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) for deep caries in immature permanent posterior teeth without history of irreversible pulpitis, and a follow up period of ?12 months were included. Study characteristics and outcomes of all included studies were summarized. Cochrane's Risk-of-bias tool 2.0 was used to assess the quality of eligible studies. Meta-analyses using a random effects model was performed. Sources: Electronic databases PubMed, Medline, Embase, LILACS, CENTRAL and Cochrane Library were searched, followed by a manual search. Study Selection: Twelve papers were included into the review. Overall success rates were 98%, 93.5%, 93.6% for direct pulp cap (DPC), indirect pulp cap (IPC) and pulpotomy (PP) respectively. Regardless of VPT technique, there were no significant differences between clinical and radiographic success rates. Completion of root development was achieved in more than 83% of the cases in all VPT techniques. Conclusions: All treatment modalities for PP were equally efficient with high overall success rates. Biodentine showed high success rates regardless of technique. No significant differences were found in the clinical and radiographic success rates between various follow-up intervals. There are no clear conclusions regarding superiority of either VPT technique on apical closure. Clinical significance: This manuscript systematically evaluates the evidence and summarises all available data on each vital pulp therapy technique and materials used in treatment of deep caries in immature permanent teeth with vital pulps. The limitations in the current scientific literature and recommendations for future research are also highlighted. 2022
