OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine and Propolis as pulpotomy medicaments in primary dentition, both clinically and radiographically. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 75 healthy 3 to 10 yr old children each having at least one carious primary molar tooth were selected. Random assignment of the pulpotomy medicaments ...

The regeneration of immature permanent teeth following trauma could be beneficial to reduce the risk of fracture and loss of millions of teeth each year. Regenerative endodontic procedures include revascularization, partial pulpotomy, and apexogenesis. Several case reports give these procedures a good prognosis as an alternative to apexification. Care is needed to deliver regenerative endodonti...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the response of the human primary pulp to the carbon dioxide laser and formocresol for vital pulp therapy. METHODS Fifteen healthy children with intact, caries-and-restoration-free, contralateral primary cuspids with at least two-thirds of the roots remaining who were scheduled for orthodontic extraction were randomly assigned to pulpotomy tre...

<p>Formocresol is widely used in pediatric endodontics as a pulpotomy medicament. Formocresol helps to fix soft tissues oral cavity such pulp. Care should be taken while using formocresol proper isolation techniques during its application an endodontic material, because of hazardous effects on tissue. This article elaborates the case chemical burns due improper handling dental treatment. ...

ultrasonography is a relatively easy, safe and non-invasive examination method which can be used in diagnosis of ocular disorders as complementary to routine ophthalmic examinations. as there has been no collated study undertaken on the normal measurements of ocular structures in caspian miniature horse, obtaining these measurements could be a benchmark to diagnose some of the diseases and eye ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to compare immediate postoperative pain scores and need for rescue analgesia in children who underwent pulpotomies and restorative treatment and those who underwent restorative treatment only, all under general anaesthesia. METHODS Ninety patients aged between 3 and 7 years who underwent full mouth dental rehabilitation under general anaesthe...

AIMS Despite various advents in technology, the present era marks a shift to phytotherapeutics and alternative modalities to conventional endodontic treatments. Newer endodontic modalities have been developed inculcating the ancient system of medicine. The present study was done to compare and evaluate the clinical pulp response and radiographic signs after pulpotomy in four groups of primary m...

Seventy-three teeth with acute irreversible pulpitis were subjected to emergency pulpotomies. After removal of the coronal portion of the pulp, a sterile cotton pellet or zinc oxide-eugenol cement was placed against the remaining pulp tissue. The cotton pellet was either dry or moistened with camphorated phenol, cresatin, eugenol, or isotonic saline. This gave six different groups of treatment ...

The long-term preservation of a permanent tooth is only possible if it has a proper crown-to-root ratio and the dentin walls are sufficiently stable to ensure normal function. After endodontic treatment of carious, young permanent teeth with not yet fully developed roots, apexogenesis and normal root development is only possible if the radicular part of the pulp remains intact.5 Also in this ca...
