Pulpotomy of Permanent Teeth with Georg Benjamin
Pulpotomy in permanent teeth is becoming an increasingly valuable treatment option, allowing clinicians to preserve pulp vitality and maintain natural tooth structure even in challenging clinical situations. However, for many dentists, integrating vital pulp therapy into daily practice still raises important questions: when to choose pulpotomy, how to assess pulp status, how to manage bleeding, and how to achieve predictable long-term outcomes.
This hands-on workshop with Georg Benjamin presents pulpotomy as a biologically driven, predictable, and clinically applicable approach to tooth preservation. The focus extends beyond the procedure itself to explore the entire decision-making process—from the diagnosis of deep caries and treatment planning to isolation, pulp assessment, material selection, and definitive restoration.
Through real clinical cases, participants will learn how to identify cases suitable for pulpotomy, manage challenging situations, and develop a structured workflow that can be directly implemented in daily clinical practice.
Core Focus
- Deep caries management as the starting point for predictable vital pulp therapy.
- Clinical decision-making before, during, and after pulp exposure.
- Controlled hemostasis, tissue assessment, and the use of MTA or calcium silicate-based materials.
- Definitive coronal sealing as a key factor in long-term success.
- Documentation, communication with patients, follow-up strategies, and failure management.
Key Learning Points
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Use pulpotomy as a predictable treatment option for permanent teeth in daily clinical practice.
- Make clearer clinical decisions regarding deep caries, case selection, pulp exposure, bleeding control, material application, and definitive restoration.
- Effectively manage bleeding and follow a structured pulpotomy protocol.
- Select and apply appropriate bioceramic materials.
- Integrate a structured pulpotomy workflow into everyday clinical practice.
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM THEORY PART I
This session focuses on clinical cases involving deep carious lesions, pulp exposure, and symptoms traditionally associated with irreversible pulpitis. Participants will explore how to evaluate cases prior to treatment, determine when to stop caries removal, assess restorability, manage pulp exposure, and decide when vital pulp therapy is the most appropriate option.
Scientific evidence, biological principles, and current recommendations are directly integrated into the discussion of real clinical situations. Rubber dam isolation is introduced as an essential part of a predictable workflow, especially in challenging cases.
3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. COFFEE BREAK
4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. THEORY PART II
This session provides a step-by-step overview of the entire pulpotomy procedure—from pulp exposure and tissue assessment to hemostasis, the application of calcium silicate-based materials, and definitive coronal sealing.
Special attention is given to common clinical challenges, including deep proximal caries, subgingival margins, difficult isolation, insufficient hemostasis, compromised teeth, postoperative symptoms, failure management, and follow-up strategies.
5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. COFFEE BREAK
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. LIVE DEMO & PRACTICAL SESSION
The session will begin with a live demonstration of the clinical workflow, including rubber dam isolation, management of pulp exposure, bleeding control, placement of calcium silicate-based materials, and restorative sealing. Following the demonstration, participants will have the opportunity to handle and apply a calcium silicate-based material on a model.
