UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to compare, clinically and radiographically, the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to formocresol (FC) when used as medicaments in pulpotomized vital human primary molars. METHODS The sample consisted of 120 primary molars, all teeth were treated with the same conventional pulpotomy technique. Sixty molars received FC and 60 received MTA throughout a...

This investigation collected clinical and radiographic data from a retrospective chart review of 4 patients receiving prophylactic formocresol pulpotomies and stainless steel crowns following a dental abscess associated with a medical diagnosis of vitamin-D resistant rickets (VDRR) at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, Tex. Clinical and radiographic data were available for 29 ...

BACKGROUND Several medicaments have been used to devitalize remaining pulp or maintain pulp vitality and promote healing. Based on pulpal biocompatibility and good sealing ability, a growing interest in more biocompatible materials promotes mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as an alternative to traditional medicaments. Uniquely, MTA can preserve pulpal health predictably and promote healing with...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION Formocresol has been a popular pulpotomy medicament for many years. It is considered the "gold standard" in pediatric dentistry. However, concerns have been raised over its use in children. It has been reported that formocresol has toxic and mutagenic effects in cell culture, dental crypts, and precancerous epithelial cells. Therefore, additional biocompatible treatment alternative...

Objetivo. Determinar el efecto del gel extracto liofilizado de Croton lechleri sobre tejido pulpar radicular en pulpotomías realizadas Oryctolagus cuniculus. Métodos. Se utilizaron 32 conejos machos raza neozelandesa dos meses edad que se asignaron aleatoriamente cuatro grupos ocho animales: control, formocresol, 1% y 2,5%. En cada animal trabajaron pulpotomías. analizaron variables clínicas (p...

AIM The purpose of this paper is to consider evidence for the early involvement of the pulp in primary molars following a proximal caries attack and to consider the evolution of ferric sulphate as the possible alternative to formocresol for pulp therapy in primary molars. Concerns have been expressed over the wisdom of using products containing formaldehyde in children and alternatives should b...

: 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 . materials & methods...
