The aim was to investigate the relationship between time to hemostasis and pulpotomy outcomes with the use of iRoot BP Plus (Innovative Bioceramics, Vancouver, Canada) for young permanent teeth of patients aged from 7 to 12 with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and evaluate the outcomes of pulpotomy. The present study was a prospective cohort study. Two hundred and six young permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis underwent pulpotomy with the use of iRoot BP Plus. All patients underwent pulpotomy in accordance with a standardized protocol. Patients were postoperatively re-called after 3, 6, 12 months. Successful cases were defined according to clinical and radiographic evaluations. Main outcome measures included tooth position, cave shape, previous restoration, preoperative symptoms, time to hemostasis and outcomes. On the basis of univariate linear regression model, the relationships between time to hemostasis was evaluated, and p < 0.05 indicated a difference that achieved statistical significance. One hundred and ninety-three teeth can be evaluated after a follow-up for 6 to 36 months. The mean age of subjects was 9.43 ± 1.51 years. The overall clinical and radiographic success rate of pulpotomy reached 71.5% (138/193). After adjusting potential confounders (age, sex, previous restoration), non-linear relationship was detected between time to hemostasis and pulpotomy outcomes whose point was 4 minutes. The relationship between time to hemostasis and pulpotomy outcomes is non-linear. Pulpotomy outcomes was negatively related with time to hemostasis when time to hemostasis is more than 4 minutes.
