Success Evaluation of Pulpotomy in Primary Molars with Enamel Matrix Derivative: a Pilot Study
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Aim: To investigate the effect of Emdogain gel (EMD) in pulpotomized primary molars and its clinical and radiographic outcomes. Methods and Materials: In this study, 18 lower second primary molars of nine children were treated by pulpotomy. The teeth were randomly assigned to the EMD (experimental) and Formocresol (control) groups in each patient (split mouth). Following removal of the coronal pulp and haemostasis, the pulp stumps were covered with Emdogain gel in the experimental group followed by application of resin-modified glass ionomer cement over the gel. In the control group, Formocresol (FC) was placed with a cotton pellet over the pulp stumps. Lastly, the teeth in both groups were restored with stainless steel crowns. Results: Nine children referred with clinical failure before/at two months follow up. The radiographic evaluation revealed furcation involvement and extensive radicular radiolucency in molars treated with Emdogain gel. Conclusion: The present study showed the failure of enamel matrix derivative in pulpotomy of primary molars; therefore, we do not recommend using Emdogain as a pulpotomy agent for treatment of cariously exposed primary teeth

متن کاملHistological evaluation of enamel matrix derivative as a pulpotomy agent in primary teeth.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate histologically the effect of an enamel matrix derivative as a pulpotomy agent in primary canines. METHODS Ten carious primary canines among teeth deemed for serial extraction were selected for this study. Emdogain gel was used as the pulp dressing material on the amputated pulp stumps. Teeth were extracted postoperatively after: (1) 1 week; (2...
متن کاملComparison of enamel matrix derivative versus formocresol as pulpotomy agents in the primary dentition.
The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of two different pulpotomy agents: one novel agent, the biologically active odontogenic protein enamel matrix derivative (EMD) versus formocresol (FC). A randomized, single-blind, split-mouth study was used with a sample of 15 children aged 4 to 7 years (mean age, 5 +/- 0.73 years). A total of 15 pairs of teeth...
