“…Thus, to supply a complete overview on the topic, papers that compared several materials with FC were included. Seven studies [75,79,81,82,84,89,91] reported better clinical outcomes of FC than FS. On the other hand, the comparison between FC and MTA [55,66,67,70,72,[76][77][78]85,86,88,90], yielded a better performance of the latter after 12, 24, 30 and 42 months of evaluation.…”

“…However, the same material is still largely used and was reported in more than half of the included studies (23/41). Among them, seven papers [75,79,81,82,84,89,91] reported similar or even better results of FC when compared to other agents used in pulpotomy of primary teeth. Durmus et al [79] reported a 12-month clinical success rate of 97% and 92.5% of deciduous teeth pulpotomized and treated with FC and FS, respectively, as well as comparable radiographical results (87% FC vs.79% FS), without any statistically significant differences among groups.…”

Moreover, FC and FS provided similar results in pulpotomy procedures after 12 (clinical success: 96% FC and 95.7% FS; radiographic success: 100% both FC and FS) and 18 months (clinical success: 96% FC and 87% FS; radiographic success: 100% FC and 91.3% FS) of evaluation [84].…”

Background: Pulpotomy of primary teeth provides favorable clinical results over time; however, to date, there is still not a consensus on an ideal pulp dressing material. Therefore, the aim of the present systematic review was to compare pulpotomy agents to establish a preferred material to use. Methods: After raising a PICO question, the PRISMA guideline was adopted to carry out an electronic search through the MEDLINE database to identify comparative studies on several pulp dressing agents, published up to October 2019. Results: The search resulted in 4274 records; after exclusion, a total of 41 papers were included in the present review. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine and ferric sulphate yielded good clinical results over time and might be safely used in the pulpotomies of primary molars. Among agents, MTA seemed to be the material of choice. On the contrary, calcium hydroxide showed the worst clinical performance. Although clinically successful, formocreosol should be replaced by other materials, due to its potential cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity. Conclusion: MTA seemed to be the gold standard material in the pulpotomy of primary teeth. Promising results were also provided by calcium silicate-based cements. Further randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with adequate sample sizes and long follow-ups are encouraged to support these outcomes. deciduous or young permanent teeth with immature roots affected by caries and without evidence of radicular pathology [7,8]. Nowadays, treatment options of VPT are represented by indirect pulp treatment (namely indirect pulp capping), direct pulp capping and pulpotomy [7]. Although clinically successful in primary molars, direct capping is mainly recommended in the VPT of permanent young teeth [9,10] and indirect capping seems to possess a relative effectiveness when compared to pulpotomy procedures [11]. The latter provides favorable clinical survival rates over time and allows the vitality of primary teeth until their natural exfoliation, avoiding pulpectomy procedures [2]. Pulpotomy consists of elimination of the bacterial infection by the removal of the pulp in the pulp chamber; then, the decontaminated tooth is filled with a medicament [11]. The most frequently used agents are mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine (BD), formocresol (FC), ferric sulphate (FS) and calcium hydroxide (CH). When compared, FC, FS and MTA seemed to provide significantly better clinical and radiographic results as pulpotomy agents than CH after two years of follow-up; moreover, MTA showed the best performance in respect to FC and FS over time [12]. Accordingly, Stringhini et al. [13] reported that MTA yielded superior clinical and radiographical results in comparison to FC. On the other hand, electrosurgery and FS showed similar success to FC, whereas CH did not show positive evidence as medicament in pulpotomies of primary teeth [13]. In the same way, Asgary et al. [14] further stressed that MTA demonstrated better long-term outcomes in pulpotomy of primary molars when com...

Objective: This study was designed to determine the prevalence of asymmetrical root resorption and associated factors in primary mandibular molars in children aged 3-12 years. Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out with a representative sample of 1068 molars evaluated using 671 radiographs from 453 children. Age, dental history, and medical history were recorded using a questionnaire administered to the children's parents/caregivers. Asymmetrical root resorption, dental crown status (sound, caries without pulp involvement, caries with pulp involvement, and evidence of restoration), periradicular lesion, and pulpotomy or pulpectomy were determined. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test and a multivariate logistic regression (P < 0.05). Results:The prevalence rate of asymmetrical root resorption was 3.8%. The 8-12 years age bracket (odds ratio [OR]: 5.8; 95% confi dence interval [CI]: 2.3-15.1; P < 0.001) and presence of pulpotomy (OR: 2.8; 95% CI: 1.1-7.4; P < 0.05) were predictors of the occurrence of asymmetrical root resorption in primary mandibular molars. In conclusion, the prevalence of asymmetrical root resorption was low. Conclusion: Child's age and the presence of pulpotomy were associated with a greater occurrence of this type of resorption.

“…They also reported that internal resorption appeared to be the most common cause of failure after pulpotomy. A summary of the success rates of the studies [33][34][35][36]39,40,49,55,57,59,60,127 using ferric sulfate as a pulpotomy medicament is provided in Table 4.…”

The aim of this paper was to review the history and the scientific literature published on pulpotomy medicaments and to present the findings of these studies. The review showed that pulpotomy of primary teeth has been treated with many different techniques and medicaments, that some of these approaches are controversial and that their results have presented variables of success rates in term of clinical, radiographic and histologic observation. It is important that all clinicians, particularly for pediatric dentists, be up to date with the recent trends in this area of dental treatment for children.
