Purpose:
To evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically use of hydroxyapatite crystals and 2% glutaraldehyde as a pulpotomy agent.
Method:
Thirty deciduous molars were treated with pulpotomy using hydroxyapatite crystals and 2% glutaraldehyde.
Results:
Clinical and radiographic findings were observed at three months and six months. The success rate was found to be 100% clinically and 80.33% radiographically in the hydroxyapatite crystals group and 100% clinically and radiographically in the glutaraldehyde group.
Clinical Significance:
The results of this study revealed that hydroxyapatite crystals is a potential pulpotomy agent for deciduous molars.
