This study was designed to examine the histologic response of the dental pulp to the use of selected concentrations of glutaraldehyde applied over various time intervals in pulpotomies performed on monkey teeth. One hundred sixty primary teeth from 8 stump-tail macaque monkeys were divided randomly into 10 groups. One group served as the control and received a zinc oxide and eugenol pulpotomy w...

MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 147 primary molars with deep caries were treated with four different pulpotomy medicaments (FC: formocresol, FS: ferric sulfate, CH: calcium hydroxide, and MTA: mineral trioxide aggregate) in this study. The criteria for tooth selection for inclusion were no ...

INTRODUCTION There are various studies looking at the effects of formocresol (FC) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on pulpotomy of primary molars. This is a systematic review of literature comparing the success rates of MTA and FC in pulpotomy of primary molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study list was obtained using PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Science Citation Index, Iran Medex, Google Schol...
