INTRODUCTION Pulpotomy is an accepted treatment for the management of cariously exposed pulps in symptom free primary molars. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of three different single-visit vital pulp therapies including pulpotomy with electrosurgery (ES), formocresol (FC) and ferric sulfate (FS) in cariously exposed primary molar teeth. MATERIA...

ABSTRACT Objective of this study is to evaluate clinically and radiographically the calcium – hydroxide formocresol mix as a root filling material in primary teeth . Materials & Methods: The was performed on 75 molars patients aged from 4-8 years that indicated for pulpectomy. were divided randomly into 3 main equal groups. Each group formed 25 molars. Group A: children which zinc oxide eugenol...

The authors reviewed the literature evaluating the antibacterial effectiveness of intracanal medicaments used in the management of apical periodontitis. A PICO (problem, intervention, comparison, outcome) strategy was developed to identify studies dealing with calcium hydroxide, phenolic derivatives, iodine-potassium iodide, chlorhexidine, and formocresol. The final inclusion/exclusion criteria...

The purpose of this project was to characterize the histopathology of radiolucent furcation lesions associated with primary molars which had received pulpotomy treatment. Twenty-four pulpotomy-treated primary molars which displayed radiolucent lesions in the root furcation suggesting unsuccessful outcome were extracted. Pretreatment radiographs were available for 6 teeth and none had evidence o...
