Cvek/partial pulpotomy or pulp capping bc we want further root development.
Indicated for a vital, traumatically-exposed, young permanent tooth, especially one with an incompletely formed apex.
Cvek pulpotomy

Intracanal medicament used for a Cvek.
CHX or Sodium hypochlorite.
These materials can induce hard tissue formation.
CaOH and MTA

Requires moisture to set, so can be used to do a pulpotomy where there’s blood.
MTA
