  ABSTRACT: Partial pulpotomy is a pulp vitality therapy that consists of removing a 2mm depth of pulp tissue which corresponds to the average height of inflamed pulp tissue and filling it with a pulp capping material to promote healing and preservation of pulp vitality. Long used on immature permanent and traumatized teeth, this technique has shown high success rate on mature permanent teeth exposed to deep caries. This article describes a clinical management case of pulpal exposure on a mature mandibular second molar treated by partial pulpotomy with a clinical and radiographic follow-up of over more than 3 years. This case report demonstrates that if prognostic factors are favorable, partial pulpotomy can replace conventional invasive endodontic treatment.
