Aim:
Pulpotomy is one of the pulp therapy for
cariously exposed pulps in primary molar teeth. There are several materials
that allows regeneration of the residual pulp. The purpose of this study was to
evaluate the efficacy of two different calcium silicate based materials
(ProRoot MTA, BIOfactor MTA) in primary molar teeth vital pulpotomies. Materials
and Methods: A total of 12 children (24 human mandibulary primary second molar
teeth) aged between 6 and 9 years were selected in this randomized clinical
study. The patients were randomly assigned to receive the pulpotomy
medicaments. All pulpotomized teeth were restored with stainless steel crowns
and evaluated clinically and radiologically at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Statistical analysis using chi-square test was performed to determine the
significant differences between two materials. Results: Neither clinical
nor radiographical differences were seen in 1st, 3rd and 6th months but in 12th
month ProRoot MTA showed statistically better results in clinical evaluation
(p=0,047). Conclusion: Both two calcium
silicate based materials showed similar clinical and radiographical
results by the end of 6th month but ProRoot MTA showed better results at the
end of 12th month.
