What represents the correct technique when performing a Cvek pulpotomy?

The correct approach when performing a Cvek pulpotomy is to prepare a cavity into the coronal pulp tissue to achieve hemostasis. This technique is designed specifically to manage pulp exposure in young permanent teeth while maintaining the vitality of the remaining pulp tissue. In this procedure, the clinician removes a portion of the coronal pulp tissue to reach healthy tissue and stop bleeding. Effective hemostasis is crucial for the success of the treatment, allowing a good environment for the remaining pulp to heal and function.

Achieving hemostasis is important because it prevents further complications related to pulp vitality and infection. Once hemostasis is reached, a suitable material is often placed on the remaining pulp, such as calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate, to promote healing and encourage the formation of a dentin bridge. This step emphasizes the goal of preserving as much of the healthy pulp as possible.

The other techniques mentioned do not align with the goals of a Cvek pulpotomy. For example, removing coronal pulp tissue down to canal orifices does not allow for the preservation of the vital pulp. Similarly, only excavating the most superficial 1mm does not adequately address the issue of hemostasis needed for treatment. Lastly, performing a pulp
