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...

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...

<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. ...

The reaction to formocresol of connective tissue cells has been examined in sponge implants and femur wounds, by means of quantitative radioautography following proline-H3 injection. For twenty-four hamsters, a sponge implant on the dorsum of the neck and a surgical opening in the right femur were prepared. Formocresol was diluted to l/50 of a normal concentration for the sponge implant study a...

INTRODUCTION Pulpotomy is a regular procedure in the management of inflamed primary teeth. Diverse materials have been reviewed for the pulpotomy, some of them being formocresol, glutaraldehyde, ferric sulfate, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). AIMS The aim was to evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically the effects of MTA as a pulp dressing after coronal pulp amputation (pulp...

The behavior of pulp tissue under two concentrations of formocresol was evaluated radiographically and histologically in pu/potomized primary and young permanent monkey teeth. A faster resorption rate of the roots of the treated primary teeth was observed with both concentrations. Evidence of vital tissue as expressed by continued root development was observed in the permanent teeth of both tre...

The purpose of this study was to contrast histologically the pulp response to formocresol with the response to electrosurgical pulpotomy in a primate model. Both the primary and permanent incisors and molars were treated. Coronal pulp amputation was accomplished mechanically. The remaining pulp stumps were treated by either formocresol or momentary electrosurgery exposure. Results were evaluate...

Formocresol is common treatment in exposed pulp of primary teeth at caries, trauma and damaged with cavity preparation. Although, clinical and radiographic success and good clinical results are observed, dentistry societies are still searching for materials interchangeable with formocresol. Suab1 is a phytochemical agent that was selected because of its anti- bleeding effect. In this study, we ...
