Letter to the Editor: Consort Randomized Clinical Trial

I read with interest the Consort Randomized Clinical Trial published in the JOE by Ballal et al., J Endod. 2024;50:4-9. The authors deserve recognition for their investigation of the biomarker MMP-9, in an effort to correlate the diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis with the presence of this inflammatory marker. However, clarification and justification for the treatment methods used in this study would be important to clinicians that provide or will provide vital pulp therapy (VPT) procedures for their patients.
