AIM To compare pulpal reactions to ferric sulphate and formocresol pulpotomies in primary molar teeth with inflamed pulps. STUDY DESIGN An experimental study in 15 juvenile baboons (Papio ursinus). MATERIALS AND METHODS Pulpitis was induced with fresh human carious dentine or Streptococcus mutans placed into occlusal cavities in 57 primary molars; after 14 days a pulpotomy was performed on ...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare, both clinically and radiographically, the effects of calcium silicate-based materials (i.e., ProRoot MTA [PR-MTA], MTA-Plus [MTA-P], and Biodentine [BD]) and ferric sulfate [FS] in pulpotomy of primary molars. Materials and Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 29 healthy 5- to 7-year-old children with at least four carious pri...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to conduct a clinical and radiographic long-term evaluation of pulpotomy in temporary molars performed with Grey and White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and compare the results of Grey and White MTA pulpotomies in a sample of 233 primary molars with a maximum follow-up period of 84 months. METHODS The sample was selected from patients treated at ...

Tetrandrine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid with unique broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory properties, was evaluated as a pulpotomy medicament in a canine model. Histological sections were evaluated after three days (acute inflammation) and six weeks (chronic inflammation) by two criteria: 1) intensity and degree of inflammation, and 2) extent of pulp involvement. The results of the three-day d...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to that of formocresol (FC) as pulp dressing agents in pulpotomized primary molars with carious pulp exposure. METHODS Forty-five primary molars of 26 children were treated by a conventional pulpotomy technique. The teeth were randomly assigned to the MTA (experimental) or FC (control) group by a toss ...

To compare the patients’ analgesic intake after pulpotomy and root canal treatment to time span of both endodontic procedures. A total thirty-four permanent mandibular molars with signs symptoms irreversible pulpitis were randomly assigned a group (n=17) (RCT) (n=17). Endodontic procedure duration was recorded for groups. Analgesic each patient up fourth day post treatment. In management mature...

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...

objective: several studies have compared ferric sulfate and formocresol pulpotomy in primary molars. the results of these studies, however, could not be compared due to differences in evaluated outcomes (clinical, radiographic, or histologic) and follow up duration. the aim of the present study was a systematic review of similar studies and a metaanalysis of their results to provide the latest ...
