Abstract

This report presents the clinical usability and practicability of the newly-generated MAP VPT system across different vital pulp treatments (VPTs). Three healthy patients with pulpal diagnoses of reversible pulpitis and irreversible pulpitis were treated with direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, and total pulpotomy. Following the achievement of hemostasis, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was delivered via the MAP VPT. Patients were recalled at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 8 months. In all cases, the system enabled precise and homogeneous placement of the material, reducing procedural time and minimizing contamination risk. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups confirmed asymptomatic, functional teeth with preserved pulp vitality. The present case series highlights the practical advantages of the MAP VPT system in facilitating accurate, controlled, and contamination-free placement of MTA during different VPTs. Further clinical studies with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up are recommended to comprehensively assess the system’s impact on treatment success and material performance.
