Evaluation of Mineral Trioxide Aggregates and Grape Seeds Extract Effect on Pulpotomy

Evaluation of Mineral Trioxide Aggregates and Grape Seeds Extract Effectiveness in Pulpotomy of Primary Molars

Pediatric dentistry has always debated the benefits of vital pulp therapy. AIM: The current study was done to differentiate the histo-pathological findings of MTA versus grape seed extract in primary teeth undergoing pulpotomy as pulp dressing substances. Materials and Methods: According to the inclusion criteria, 16 primary teeth were selected in each group. Randomly and equally, the teeth were split into two groups: (MTA group) Group I, and (GSE group) Group II. After nine months, under a light microscope the teeth were evaluated and a clinical follow-up was conducted. Periapical radiographs were also taken at this time.

Inclusion Criteria:

• healthy patients with carious primary molars

Exclusion Criteria:

• root resorption
