Aim: The aim of the present study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate Mineral Trioxide Aggre-gate (MTA) as an agent for pulpotomy in primary teeth and to compare it with that of Formocresol (FC) pulpotomy. Method: Seventy first and second primary mandibular molars of children were chosen on patients who required minimum two pulpotomies in either arch or same arch. After the standardized technique of Pulpotomy with MTA and Formocresol, all molars were treated with a thick mix of Zinc oxide Eugenol cement into the coronal pulp chamber followed by preformed stainless steel crown. The children were followed up for clinical and radio graphical examination after 6,12 and 24 month for Pain, Swelling, Sinus/ fistula, Periapical changes, Furcation radiolucency and internal resorption. Results: MTA represents 97% clinical success rate in comparison to Formocresol with 85% success. Radiographically also MTA showed more promising results with 88.6% success in comparison to Formocresol with 54.3%. Conclusions: Thus, MTA pulpotomy has emerged as an easier line of treatment to save the premature loss of primary teeth due to caries or trauma.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and histological outcomes of the dentin-pulp complex from primary molars after pulpotomy with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and 15.5% ferric sulfate (FS). Thirty-one primary molars were randomly allocated into MTA or FS groups. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were recorded at 3-, 6-, 12- and 18-month follow-up. Teeth at the regular exfoliation period were extracted and processed for histological analysis. Clinical and radiographic data were tested by statistical analysis (p≤0.01). Histological outcomes were analyzed descriptively. All of the treated teeth presented clinical success over the experimental periods. Both groups exhibited 100% of radiographic success at 3, 6 and 12 months. At the 18-month follow-up, one tooth from FS group presented inter-radicular radiolucency (p>0.01). Histologically, the treated teeth presented pulp vitality and absence of inflammatory infiltrate into the connective tissue. Only MTA group showed hard tissue barrier surrounded by odontoblasts over the pulp stumps. Both MTA and 15.5% FS are effective for pulpotomies of primary teeth. Although MTA is considered the first-choice material, FS may be a suitable alternative when treatment cost is an issue.

Purpose: The aim of this present study was to observe clinical, radiographic response of pulp to Ferric Sulphate and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate when used as pulpotomy agent in primary molars. Materials and Methods: Sixty restorable primary molars were selected for the study. The children were chosen who require minimum two pulpotomies in either arch preferably each on the opposite side (i.e. right and left). Primary molars on the right side of the patient were assigned to Ferric Sulphate (FS) (Group A) and left side was assigned for the Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) (Group B). Statistical analysis was done for pain, swelling, sinus, and fistula and for internal resorption, furcation radiolucency and periapical pathology using the chi-square test. Results: outcome of the present study was observed at 3 month interval and after 6 months. The clinical success rate for MTA (AQUA) and ferric sulphate during 3 and 6 month follow up was 100%. The radiographic follow up of MTA was 100% during 3 and 6 month, whereas it was 96.6% for 3 and 6 month follow up with respect to ferric sulphate. There were no significant differences in the clinical (p>0.1) and radiographic (p>0.98) success rates among both the groups. Conclusion: ferric sulphate was found to be equally effective when compared with MTA. Radiographic success rate was lower for Ferric sulphate (Group A) than that of MTA (Group B) with occurrence of one internal resorption seen with first primary molar.

The Moment

Seventy primary molar teeth, carious exposed, symptom free, without any sign of root resorption in children aged from 3 to 6 years (main age 4.3yr) were treated with conventional pulpotomy procedures. Ferric sulfate 15.5% solution (applied for 15 second for 35 teeth) and formocresol solution (five minute procedure of Buckley's formula for next 35 teeth) have been used as pulpotomy agents. In both groups, pulp stumps were covered with zinc-oxide eugenol paste. Permanent restorations were stainless steel crowns. Clinical check up was every three-months and radiographic follow-up time was six and twenty months after treatment. Our results within this period revealed 100% clinical success rate in both groups. Radiographic success rate was in both groups 97.2%, while in 2.8% cases has shown internal root resorption. On the basis of these results, we can recommend ferric sulfate as a pulpotomy agent in primary teeth in substitution for formocresol at the moment.

Aim: To compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes observed in Necrotic Immature Permanent Teeth (NIPT) after revascularization or apexification with MTA-apical plug. Methodology: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of science and Scopus were the databases used, up to July 30th, 2017, for article research. Independent reviewers read the titles and abstracts of all reports that met inclusion/exclusion criteria: prospective or retrospective clinical studies comparing the revascularization of root canal and apexification. Clinical success of therapies, deposition and thickening of lateral dentinal walls (root width) and the continuation of root development (root length) were investigated. Bias risk of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias. Results: From 1642 records, five papers fulfilled all inclusion criteria. Overall, 91 teeth were submitted to revascularization and 64 teeth to apexification with MTA. The mean follow-up was 23.2 months in revascularization and 21.8 in apexification. Clinical success rate was of 87.9% in the revascularization group and 90.6% in the apexification group. An increase on lateral dentinal walls thickening was observed in most revascularization cases (13%) while MTA as apical plug suggest a mild resorption of the root (1.3%). High bias risk was observed on included studies. Conclusions: Apexification with MTA-apical plug provides similar clinical success to revascularization. However, radiographic measurements showed an improvement in thickening of lateral dentinal walls in most of the revascularization cases in addition to a higher dental development. However, these results should be interpreted with caution.

The aim of the present study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate Mineral Trioxide Aggregate(MTA) as an agent for pulpotomy in primary teeth and to compare it with that of formocresol (FC) pulpotomy. Nineteen children between the ages of 6 to 8 years with 40 carious primary molars were treated with pulpotomy using either FC or MTA. All the molars were evaluated clinically and radiographically at regular intervals over a twenty four month period. The observations were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Eighty five percent success was observed with FC pulpotomy whereas MTA showed 95% success. MTA showed a higher clinical and radiographic success rate than FC. MTA may be a favorable material for pulpotomy in primary teeth whose pulps have been compromised by a carious or mechanical pulp exposure.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate four different pulpotomy medicaments in primary molars. Materials and Methods: A total of 147 primary molars with deep caries were treated with four different pulpotomy medicaments (FC: formocresol, FS: ferric sulfate, CH: calcium hydroxide, and MTA: mineral trioxide aggregate) in this study. The criteria for tooth selection for inclusion were no clinical and radiographic evidence of pulp pathology. During 30 months of follow-up at 6-month intervals, clinical and radiographic success and failures were recorded. The differences between the groups were statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: At 30 months, clinical success rates were 100%, 95.2%, 96.4%, and 85% in the FC, FS, MTA, and CH groups, respectively. In radiographic analysis, the MTA group had the highest (96.4%), and the CH group had the lowest success rate (85%). There were no clinical and radiographic differences between materials (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Although there were no differences between materials, only in the CH group did three teeth require extraction due to further clinical symptoms of radiographic failures during the 30-month follow-up period. None of the failed teeth in the other groups required extraction during the 30-month follow-up period.
