Question about the uses of calciuom hydroxide in vital pulpotomy. does it increase the life span of the treated endodontically tooth & how?

Calcium hydroxide: Is used in vital pulpotomy to help the apex of a developing root close;generally in young children. Once the root is closed the root canal is completed and the tooth is like any other although it will not feel hot cold or pain. It will require a veneer/cr in the adult or a build up to protect the occlusal surface in children.

Child? Adult? or: Teent? The answer would be different. I will assume for an adult. A pulp cap with calcium hydroxide is a common procedure. It allows an otherwise healthy tooth to heal itself and lay down new hard tooth material. The same idea for a vital pulpotomy but not a common procedure. Used when a root canal would be unpredictable with complicated roots or calcifications or in the hope to save $ and not do.
