Pulpotomy With Various MTA Materials and Ferric Sulphate

Clinical and Radiographic Comparison of RetroMTA, OrthoMTA And Ferric Sulfate for Pulpotomy in Primary Molars

The aim of this study was to determine clinical and radiographic efficacy of the newly developed OrthoMTA and RetroMTA , compared frequently used ferric sulfate for pulpotomy in primary second molars.

A total of 96 second primary second molars from 32 children ,who met inclusion criteria and were 5-9 years old were selected for the study. Teeth were randomly divided into three groups according to the planned treatment: O-MTA (n=32 teeth), R-MTA (n=32 teeth) and FS (n=32 teeth). Clinical and radiographical follow-up examinations were conducted at 3, 6 and 9 months postoperatively. The data were evaluated with Chi-square test, Cochran Q test, Post-Huc Dunn test and Kaplan-Meier analysis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients have at least three deep carious primary second molars
• Teeth with no spontaneous pain
• Patient who are willing to participate
• Cooperative children

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who are not willing to participate
