Partial Versus Complete Pulpotomy Using Three Different Materials in Primary Molars: a Clinical Study
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Formocresol, MTA, and 3 other interventions for Decayed Primary Molars. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purposes of the study to compare partial pulpotomy versus complete pulpotomy in primary molars using three different materials (Formocresol, MTA, Theracal LC) . After 6, 9, 12 and 15 months follow up each case will be evaluated radiographically and clinically. the radiographic criteria to be evaluated are (radiolucency, resorption, widening in periodontal ligament space, Crypt involvement) and clinical criteria are ( pain, tenderness, fistula, abnormal mobility) upon these criteria some recommendations will be made on success and failure rate of each material and each technique.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
mixture of formalin, cresol and glycerine used for fixation of pulp tissues
material used for pulp regeneration, direct and indirect pulp capping
light cured resin modified calcium silicate filled liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping
removal of the carious tooth structure and unroofing of the pulp chamber with a round carbide bur with high speed and water spray. The coronal pulp tissue will be then removed using a #4 carbide bur with slow speed and sharp spoon excavator.
complete removal of caries till exposure occurs. The exposed surface of the pulp will be gently removed using a sterile round diamond bur and a high-speed, water-cooled handpiece with light hand pressure. The removal of the pulp did not exceed approximately two mm.
