Effect of chlorhexidine gluconate as hemostatic agent in healing and repair after mineral trioxide aggregate vital pulp therapy in young permanent teeth – A clinical study

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical success mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) partial pulpotomy as a definitive procedure in deeply carious permanent posterior teeth using 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate or normal saline hemostatic agents. Materials and Methods: A pilot randomized control trial conducted on subjects with deep lesion 20 immature (10.8 ± 2.62 years). Caries superficial layer exposed pulp were removed then flushed CHX solution. Gray MTA placed, followed by resin-modified glass ionomer composite. Results: 12 months follow-up showed 100% 90% radiographical both groups. Dentine Bridge formed group, which is an effective ( P = 0.000). Conclusion: agent for treatment appears increase radiographic rate formation dentin bridge compared saline.
