Vital Pulp Therapy in Cats: A Case Series and Clinical Outcomes

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is an established treatment in human and canine dentistry, but evidence in feline patients remains limited. At DentalVets, we have collected and reviewed a case series of nearly 20 cats treated with VPT for complicated crown fractures and other pulp exposures. Each case was managed using a standardized protocol, and follow-up periods range from 4 months to over 2 years.

This presentation will share the preliminary results of an ongoing retrospective study, focusing on clinical and radiographic outcomes, treatment indications, materials used, and long-term tooth vitality. Cases include both young and adult cats, and follow-up data have been collected through routine rechecks and dental imaging.

The goal of this work is to assess the viability and predictability of VPT in feline patients and to help define its role in feline dentistry. This presentation will be of particular interest to general practitioners, residents, and specialists seeking evidence-based approaches to preserving pulp vitality in cats.
