In our study, the success rate of BiodentineTM (100%) was comparable to the success rate reported in previous studies [14, 36]. Unfortunately, operator blinding was not possible as both materials were of different types, which required different manipulations, thus the operators’ cognitive bias could not be eliminated during the procedures but not in the follow–up evaluations. The whole pulp chamber was entirely filled with BiodentineTM until the occlusal surface. Formocresol pulpotomy technique When Buckley's formulation was introduced in 1904, it was used for the treatment of non-\dtal permanent teeth. The current study has some advantages as it is one of the few recent randomized clinical trials using BiodentineTM for primary molars pulpotomy. Int Endod J 1991;24:279-89. Pulpotomy is the accepted therapy for the management of cariously exposed pulps in symptom-free primary molars; however, evidence is lacking about the most appropriate technique. Schroder U.

The children were selected from the Pediatric Dentistry Clinics, Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah. The pulpotomized tooth was judged to be radiographically successful if it demonstrated the following criteria [1,18,19,22, 1) Normal periodontal ligament space (2) No periapical and furcation pathosis, and (3) No internal resorption. The effects of laser irradiation on the activation of inflammatory cells and the vital pulpotomy. There were no significant differences in clinical and radiographic success rates between BiodentineTM and formocresol. The technique as propounded by Buckley initially involved five visits, but in 1955 this was reduced to three (4). World Health Organization. J Endod. Spedding RH, Mitchell DF, McDonald RE.

Thus, if there is truly no difference between the standard and experimental materials, then 102 teeth (51 for each study material) are required to be 95% sure that the limits of a two–sided 90% confidence interval will exclude a difference between the standard and experimental group of more than 10%. Tsai TP, Su HL, Tseng LH. Lately, Septodont developed a new tricalcium–silicate cement (BiodentineTM) which could join perfect mechanical features with outstanding biocompatibility, in addition to a bioactive performance [7]. As there is little consensus on how internal root resorption and pulp canal obliteration affect the outcome, the findings are listed in Table 2. Pulpotomy entails the removal of infected coronal pulp followed by placement of a suitable medicament to preserve the health of remaining radicular pulp. The pulpotomy procedure was decided a clinical success if the tooth fulfilled the following criteria [1, 18, 19, 22]: (1) No pain, (2) No swelling, (3) No tenderness to percussion, (4) No abscess or fistula, and (5) No abnormal tooth mobility. Furthermore, it excludes the necessity of a restorative material to fill the pulp chamber [8,9,10,11].

In control (group II), a sterile cotton pellet moistened with 1:5 concentration formocresol (Buckley’s Formocresol, Sultan Healthcare, Englewood, NJ, USA) then blotted to remove excess was placed for 5 minutes on the pulp stumps and then the pulps were covered with zinc oxide–eugenol (IRM; Dentsply, Milford, DE) dressing. Endodontics. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol 1971;31:571-85. At 12 months, the clinical success rates of both BiodentineTM and formocresol groups were 100%, while the radiographic success rates for BiodentineTM and formocresol groups were 100% and 98.1%, respectively. PCO is a usual radiographic observation in pulpotomy procedures using formocresol, ferric sulfate, or BiodentineTM [1, 19, 34]. Formocresol has been a popular pulpotomy medicament in the primary dentition and is still the most universally used pulp medicament for primary teeth. Response of human dental pulp capped with BiodentineTM and mineral trioxide aggregate. In addition to the high success rate of BiodentineTM observed in the current study, it has a clinical advantage over formocresol that is the simultaneous action of BiodentineTM as both a dressing and restorative material. In the current study, formocresol technique showed PCO in only 12.5% of molars, which agrees with the percentage found in published studies. The percentage of teeth that could be lost to follow up at all stages was set at 10% thereby forcing an increase of 5 pairs to the calculated sample size. Since BiodentineTM showed success in many endodontic procedures and used as a permanent dentine substitute, the pulp chamber was filled up to the occlusal level with BiodentineTM [32]. Restorative techniques in paediatric dentistry,. [6] used a two‑visit procedure in their comparison study of formocresol and calcium hydroxide. American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. In this randomized clinical trial, 29 healthy 5- to 7-year-old children with at least four carious primary molars with no clinical or radiographic evidence of pulp degeneration were enrolled. In both groups, all teeth were finally restored using a stainless steel crown (SSC) (3M/ESPE, St. Paul, Minn., USA). Follow–up was done for all children clinically at 3, 6 and 12 months and radiographically at 6 and 12 months. Its use in primary molars was not advocated until 1930 (3).
