Electrocoagulation extends the indication of calcium hydroxide pulpotomy in the primary dentition
Abstract:
The primary molars received calcium hydroxide pulpotomy with or without the electrocoagulation procedure. Teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment. There was no statistically significant difference in success rate between calcium hydroxide pulpotomies, with and without the electrocoagulation procedure, either clinically or radiographically. These results indicate that a pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide is an effective treatment for cariously exposed pulp in primary molars and electrocoagulation can extend its indication.

EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution. In addition, auxiliary complexing reagents are used to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides and...
Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
