background and aim: formocresol (fc) is yet, the most common medication used for pulpotomy of primary teeth. however, its potential hazards including toxicity, mutagenicity and even some degrees of carcinogenicity are the remaining sources of concern to clinicians. this investigation was aimed at comparing the clinical success level of mta (case) treated pulps of primary teeth to that of formoc...

introduction : to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of pulpotomy treatment with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) in symptomatic mature permanent teeth with carious exposure. materials and methods: ten patients aged 27-54 years presented with 11 symptomatic permanent teeth ( n =11). each offending carious tooth was clinically and radiographically determined. we removed caries as co...

AIMS To investigate the cytotoxicity and bioactivity of several pulpotomy materials: Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, France) MTA (Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil), Theracal LC (Bisco Inc., Schamburg, IL, USA) and IRM (Dentsply DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany), after contact with stem cells isolated from human exfoliated primary teeth (SHEDs). METHODOLOGY SHEDs were cultured in the ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this quantitative systematic review/meta-analysis was to compare the treatment outcomes of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide (CH) in pulpotomy of human primary molars. The focused PICO question was "in case of pulp exposure in vital primary molars, how does MTA pulpotomy compare to CH in terms of clinical/radiographic success?" METHODS AND MATERIAL...

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 coro...

radicular cysts arising from deciduous teeth are rare. this report presents a case of radicular cyst associated with a primary molar following pulp therapy and discusses the relationship between pulp therapy and the rapid growth of the cyst. the treatment consisted of enucleation of the cyst sac and extraction of the involved primary teeth and 20 months follow up of the patient. early diagnosis...
