Due to the distinct anatomical characteristics of deciduous teeth, they are particularly susceptible to apical periodontitis when afflicted by deep caries or other endodontic diseases. Conventional, root canal therapy (RCT) has served as the standard treatment protocol all the time by the most pediatric dentists. However, researchers try to find another possible alternative mothods because of its some drawbacks. Hence this report introduces a groundbreaking therapeutic modality - inflammatory vital pulp therapy (IVPT) - which has proven effective in treating apical periodontitis in a deciduous molar. The objective of this study was to assess the practicality and efficacy of IVPT in managing apical periodontitis in deciduous teeth. Through rigorous patient examination and evaluation, IVPT was adopted as the treatment plan, followed by meticulous long-term follow-up observations. The outcomes revealed remarkable clinical improvements, with the periapical lesion healing seamlessly without any complications. Notably, the development of the permanent tooth embryo remained undisturbed and progressed as expected. In summary, this study validates the efficacy of IVPT in treating apical periodontitis in deciduous teeth, opening a new avenue for the management of deciduous tooth diseases. The clinical utilization of this method is anticipated to enhance treatment experiences and prognostic outcomes for patients with deciduous tooth pathologies.
