This study evaluated in vitro the influence of a temporary filling {zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE)} and two pulpotomy agents {formocresol (FC) and ferric sulfate (FS)} on shear bond strength (SBS) of two dentin adhesives to the dentin of primary molars. A total of 80 dentin surfaces were prepared and randomly allocated into 10 groups of 8 specimens each. Groups were subjected to different treatments,...

PURPOSE The purposes of this investigation were to 1) measure success of a primary tooth pulpotomy technique that applies formocresol in the sub-base without the common five-minute application of a formocresol impregnated cotton pellet; and 2) compare success rates of the pulpotomy procedure using traditional criteria found throughout the literature with new criteria recently established, exclu...

AIM To compare the treatment outcomes of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as pulp dressing biomaterials in vital pulpotomy of carious primary molars. STUDY DESIGN split-mouth randomised clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty children aged 4-8 years with 2 carious teeth requiring pulpotomy were selected and randomly assigned to MTA (n = 40) or C...

AIM This randomized clinical trial evaluated clinical sign/symptoms as well as histological pulp reactions in terms of inflammation and mineralized bridge formation after partial pulpotomy of sound human premolars and placement of a bioceramic paste (iRoot BP) or tooth-colored ProRoot MTA as pulp-covering biomaterials. METHODOLOGY Twenty-four human sound premolars were randomly allocated into...

BACKGROUND Pulpotomy is the surgical removal of the entire coronal pulp with preservation of the radicular pulp vitality. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy of primary molars using two materials, biodentine and calcium hydroxide. METHODS Records of 400 primary molars in 360 paediatric participants (mean age: 7.5 ± 1.6 yea...

A vital pulp tissue is responsible for supporting the tooth structure through reparative dentin production. Preserving vitality essential in maintaining vascularization and nutrition to that eventually will support & reduce teeth mortality. Root canal treatment permanent children a complex procedure requiring lengthy appointments multiple visits often require full coverage restoration. on o...

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 ...

AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as pulpotomy agents by clinical and radiological assessments in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 90 decayed primary molars indicated for pulpotomy were chosen and are divided into two groups. Soft enamel and dentinal caries were removed using spoon excavator. Access opening ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to evaluate human dental pulp response to pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide (CH), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of nine erupted third molars were randomly assigned to each pulpotomy group. The same clinician performed full pulpotomies and coronal restorations. The patients were ...
