Abstract :
Treatment of a traumatic tooth with pulp exposure is one of the most challenging. Nonetheless, advancements in adhesive dentistry and essential pulp therapy might enable professionals to handle these injuries conservatively. If the pulp gets exposed in the patient or if the condition is discovered after a long period of time, partial pulpotomy, i.e., Cvek pulpotomy, is recommended, having, 96% success rate. Calcium hydroxide, mineral trioxide aggregate, and biodentine have been used as medicaments for a long time. This case report concentrates on a naturally occurring and biocompatible alternative material, chitosan, thereby demonstrating the effective treatment of a complex crown fracture with partially exposed pulp, utilizing chitosan nanoparticles. The regeneration process was assessed clinically and radiographically. No relevant signs of failure were seen over 1 year.
