To investigate the effectiveness and factors affecting the use of iRoot BP plus for pulpotomy in the treatment of caries-induced irreducible pulpitis in mature permanent teeth. Sixty patients with caries-origin irreducible pulpitis in mature permanent teeth admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to November 2024 were selected for the study, and were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group. The patients in the control group were given MTA antibacterial paste for pulp capping. Patients in the study group were given iRoot BP Plus root canal filling and restorative material to cap the pulp. Comparing the treatment success rates of patients in the two groups at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05); comparing the degree of root resorption of patients in the two groups at 12 months after surgery, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05); The distribution of cases by variable/category and bivariate analysis showed that the size of perforation and apical foramen closure had a significant effect on the results (P<0.05), while the gender and age of the patients did not have a significant effect on the results (P>0.05). iRoot BP Plus can be used as a pulp capping agent in the treatment of caries-derived irreducible pulpitis in mature permanent teeth by pulpotomy, and there is no difference between iRoot BP Plus and MTA in clinical application. The factors influencing the use of iRoot BP plus for pulpotomy in the treatment of caries-induced irreducible pulpitis in mature permanent teeth are the size of the perforation and the closure of the apical foramen.
