“…It became the most widely used drug due to its bacteriostatic and fixative properties, with a success rate varying from 55% to 98%. However, other authors suggest that the clinical and radiographic efficacy of formocresol varies between 70 to 97% (6). Its chemical composition of formaldehyde (mutagenic and carcinogenic) and cresol (caustic agent), elicits concerns, even though there is no evidence that its systemic distribution can cause disease (7).…”

Evidence-based dentistry is a critical evaluation, awareness of the available evidence to improve decision making about the care of individual patients and / or communities. Objective: To systematically analyze the available scientific literature on clinical and radiographic results of two materials used in pulpotomy in primary teeth: formocresol and mineral trioxide aggregate. Materials and methods: It was identified relevant publications through a search of electronic databases such as MEDLINE (Ovid) and The Cochrane Library. To be included in the review, studies had to define the material used in child patients with pulp exposure by caries or tooth-alveolar trauma. Results: Of the 21 articles obtained in the initial phase of the review, only 19 were available in full text and of these only met the requirements for inclusion 6 items, which were confronted, analyzed and discussed later. Conclusions: The clinical evidence available showed significant differences regarding the use of a material or another. In addition to the findings of clinical follow -radiographic and taking into account the potential toxicity of formocresol suggest the use of mineral trioxide aggregate pulpotomy of primary teeth.

“…For pulpotomy to be successful, the dressing material should ideally be bactericidal, harmless to the pulp and surrounding structures, and effective for healing the radicular pulp. Additionally, it should not interfere with physiologic root resorption 4) . To satisfy the above conditions, calcium hydroxide (CH) has traditionally been the material of choice for a pulpotomy procedure involving an immature permanent tooth 5) .…”

Biological efficacy of two mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA)-based materials in a canine model of pulpotomy

The aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of Endocem Zr ® and ProRoot MTA ® by histopathologic analysis in a canine model of pulpotomy. This study utilized 39 teeth of two beagle dogs. The exposed pulp tissues were treated by pulpotomy using ProRoot MTA (n=19) or Endocem Zr (n=20). After 8 weeks, the teeth were extracted and processed with hematoxylin-eosin staining for histologic evaluation. Most of the specimens in both groups developed a calcific barrier at the pulp amputation site and formed an odontoblast layer. However, some of the Endocem Zr specimens showed less calcific barrier formation with a greater inflammatory response and less odontoblast layer formation when compared with the ProRoot MTA specimens. ProRoot MTA and Endocem Zr specimens developed a calcific barrier; however, ProRoot MTA was more biocompatible than Endocem Zr.

“…However, the best treatment for the deciduous dentition has not yet been defined. 4 In this regard, studies have been carried out on the biocompatibility of different capping materials, 5,6 including the analysis of natural products with therapeutic properties. 7 Propolis is a natural derivative with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and has been used as a pulp capping material in human teeth, demonstrating results that are comparable to those obtained with mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide.…”
