Abstract
Of 18 young dogs, 40 permanent canine teeth received crown reductions with a partial pulpectomy to prevent soft tissue trauma through malocclusion or disarmoured. The success of all 40 canine teeth was confirmed by dentine bridge formation on dental radiographs three months or more after treatment. A caries-like lesion was developed on the surface of a reduced crown in one young dog with malocclusion six months after the procedure, but the dentinbridge was recognized on the radiograph. Properly completing the technique for partial pulpectomy with an immature or young intact pulp without contamination is the key to success.
