A Clinical Trial Comparing Reinforced Zinc Oxide Eugenol to Ferric Sulphate as a Pulpotomy Agent in Primary Teeth
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pulp hemostasis with a dry cotton pellet, Pulp hemostasis with a wet cotton pellet impregnated with FS, and 1 other intervention for Pulpotomy. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this prospective randomized, single blinded; split-mouth clinical trial the aim was to evaluate clinical and radiographic effects of placement of reinforced zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) base directly over the amputated pulp stumps in pulpotomized primary molars, and to compare this technique to ferric sulphate (FS) in pulpotomized primary teeth. Included were 65 children using a split-mouth design, (130 teeth). All teeth were then restored with prefabricated stainless steel crowns (SSC). Patients were recalled for clinical and radiographical evaluation after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Two experienced and calibrated pediatric dentists who were not involved in the investigation blindly assessed the radiographs.
