fa A randomized study of sodium hypochlorite versus formocresol pulpotomy in primary molar teeth کودکان Pediatric Dentistry پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Background. </strong></p><p>  Alternatives to vital pulpotomy treatment in primary teeth are being sought because of the high formaldehyde content of traditional formocresol (FC) pulpotomy medicaments.</p><p> <strong> Aim.</strong></p><p> <strong> </strong> The aim was to compare the clinical and radiographic success of vital pulpotomy treatment in primary molars using 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) versus a 1 : 5 dilution of Buckley’s FC. </p><p> <strong>Design.</strong></p><p>   Pulpotomies were performed in primary molars of healthy children between 3 and 10 years old. Sixty-five primary teeth were randomized into two groups that were evaluated for treatment outcomes. Following treatment, the pulp chamber was filled with zinc oxide eugenol (ZnOE) and restored with a stainless steel crown cemented with glass ionomer cement. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were recorded at 6 and 12 months. </p><p> <strong>Results.</strong></p><p> <strong> </strong> The control (FC) and experimental (NaOCl) groups demonstrated 100% clinical success at 6 and 12 months. The NaOCl group had 86% (19/22) radiographic success at 6 months and 80% (12/15) at 12 months. The FC group had 84% (21/25) radiographic success at 6 months and 90% (9/10) at 12 months. No significant differences were found in the radiographic outcomes between the two groups at 6 and 12 months (Fisher’s exact test P = 0.574 and P = 0.468, respectively). </p><p> <strong>Conclusion.</strong></p><p>   NaOCl demonstrated clinical and radiographic success comparable to FC. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>International Journal of ‍ Pediatric Dentistry</p><p> <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-263X.2012.01237.x/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-2470&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 JOHN D.
