uniradicular/single-rooted total biopulpectomy/pulpotomy
Explanation:
The use of "uniradicular" or "single-rooted" is indifferent. Biopulpectomy means the treatment where only a part of the pulp is taken out. That's why the use of "bio-": life. The root canals are still vital... but the pulp chamber is taken out. That would be a "total biopulpectomy"... where the whole chamber is taken.

A sinonim would be "pulpotomy". It's used to minimize confusions. Pulpectomy is the whole root canal treatment. And biopulpectomy is pretty similar. So, you can also say pulpotomy... means exactly the same... and is widely used, as well.

Hope to help you in any way...

Explanation:
single tooth/single visit pulpectomy for a single root tooth

As you can see this has been driving me crackers (it probably did you too).

Anyway, hoping this helps you in some way.

My excuse is that I hardly ever translate Sp-En dental texts - in fact never!
Well, I am reluctant to use “biopulpectomy” as this occurs on many, many “foreign” sites. Although I think “biopulpectomy” means single session endodontic treatment [the same applied for “uniradicular” = not popular at all on bona fide En sites].

APOLOGIES

Yes, we can use "uniradicular tooth" - my UK ref above is proof of this!

So

Single session pulpectomy of/for a uniradicular tooth

How's that?

Or

Single session total pulpectomy of/for a uniradicular tooth



At long last, eh?

You are going to be fed up with me!

I think I may have finally twigged

A lot of translations with "biopulpectomy" have been translated from the Latin languages...so I looked up the French in Flammarion:

Biopulpectomie: s.f. V. pulpectomie.

So I reckon it is the same as "pulpectomy".

So, after all that,

Total pulpectomy of uniradicular tooth.

What do you think?

neutral  liz askew: I am a linguist, not a dentist. However "Total uniradicular pulpectomy" is better English. Biopulpectomy, as I have already said is just not used in the UK, or bonafide AmE sites!

  -> Ok, but "total pulpectomy" is not what "biopulpectomia total" means. Then "pulpotomy" is the term you'd like the most. The prefix "bio-makes that difference, I already explained that, liz. Thanks for your explanation, I'll avoid using "biopulpectomy".
