- Abstract: Recent advances in vital pulp therapy(VPT)research,coupled with the widespread use of biomaterials,have led to an in-crease in the application of VPT.The indications for VPT are continually expanding,particularly for fully developed permanent teeth.Currently,one-way membrane decompression is being investigated as a possible treatment to preserve vital pulp in cases of irreversible pulpitis.This technology involves creating an access point in the pulp cavity and using the one-way membrane to prevent microorganisms from invading the pulp tissue.Additionally,it helps alleviate the high pressure in the pulp cavity caused by inflammation,thereby en-hancing blood circulation within the pulp.This improvement is crucial for establishing a foundation for future vital pulp preservation treatments.A case of irreversible pulpitis caused by caries was reported,in which the dental pulp was preserved using the one-way membrane decompression.The results of a ten-month clinical follow-up indicate a positive outcome.
