Abstract:
Introduction
�Pulpotomy is the most common treatment in carious primary teeth with exposed pulp. Various medicaments were used in this treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic success of Pro Root and Root� mineral trioxide aggregate.
Materials And Methods
In this randomized clinical trial 70 teeth of children age 3-7 years old that met inclusion criteria were pulpotomized by Pro Root and Root MTA and all teeth were restored with amalgam. The clinical and radiographic� follow up was done at 6,12, 18, 30 months. The data was analyzed by Exact fisher test.
Results
At the end of 30 month follow up period 28 teeth in ProRoot MTA and 26 teeth in Root MTA were available for evaluation. In Root MTA 1 tooth was exfoliated and abscess was seen in 1 tooth and furca radiolucency was seen it its x-Ray. In ProRoot MTA external resorption was seen in 1 tooth. Exact fisher test did not �show any significant difference statistically in success rate between 2 groups after 30 months.
Conclusion
Based on the results of this study success rate of Root and Pro Root mineral trioxide aggregate is similar and both of them can be used successfully in pulpotomy of primary molars.
