Abstract

Pulp pathology in deciduous teeth is one of the most common diseases in children. In order to treat this one, a number of methods has been used and pulpotomy is one of the most popular techniques. The effectiveness of this method depends on some factors, especially the material placed in the pulp chamber. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Biodentine to MTA used as pulpotomy agents in primary molars of children 4-8 years old. This was a randomized controlled trial study. A total of 192 primary molar teeth which had indication for pulpotomy in 77 patients aged from 4 to 8 years were assessed in the study. Random assignment of the pulpotomy medicaments was done as follows: Group I, MTA (n=96); Group II, Biodentine (n=96). The clinical and radiographic success rates were 98,7%; 96,1% of group I and 98,8%; 97,6% of group II after 9 months follow-up, respectively. They were not different statistically (p>0,05). Pulpotomy treatment using Biodentine and MTA had similar success rates in primary molar teeth at the end of the 9 month follow-up period. The clinical trials with longer follow-up periods are required to accurately evaluate the effectiveness of this material.
