Preserving the living root of a baby tooth in case of deep caries is the right choice for a child.

Vital pulpotomy involves removing the inflamed (coronal) portion of the pulp while preserving the living root portion. It is used for deep caries in baby teeth when the nerve is still vital and can be preserved.
