Objective: To do a clinical and radiographic evaluation of the effectiveness of MTA when used as a direct pulp capping material in primary molars. Study design: Clinical and radiographic follow-up was performed on 30 primary molars with deep caries lesions in 30 patients from 3 to 9.75 years of age. Pulps exposed during cavity preparation were treated by direct pulp capping with MTA. The follow-up clinical and radiographic examinations were carried out at different time intervals: 6, 7–12, 13–18, 19–24, and >24 months after treatment. Results: Twenty-four teeth were evaluated during the entire observation period. Positive clinical and radiographic outcomes were achieved in 19 teeth (13 teeth were saved and 6 were exfoliated). In five teeth, complications were observed only in children under 7 years old. Conclusion: Based on these clinical and radiographic results, MTA was found to be successful when used as a direct pulp capping material in primary teeth.

Zinc Oxide Eugenol

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of zinc oxide–eugenol (ZOE) as the only pulp capping agent in pulpotomies carried out on decayed primary molars after a follow-up period of 24 months. Study design: In total, 60 pulpotomies were performed on 38 patients aged 3 to 11 years. Pulpotomy treatment consisted of the removal of the coronal pup tissue, subsequent hemostasis, irrigation with saline solution, drying and pressure with sterile cotton pellets, and placement of a thick regular ZOE base with a minimal amount of eugenol directly over the vital radicular pulp. Additionally, a histopathologic study was carried out on some of the molars treated. Results: After a 24-month follow-up, we considered 51 procedures to be successful and 9 failures using clinical and radiographic criteria; most of the failures occurred between the 12th and 18th month. Conclusions: Results suggest that the proposed pulpotomy treatment with ZOE as the only capping agent may be considered as an alternative technique in the pulp treatment of primary molars.
