Abstract:
A different concept of formocresol pulpotomy procedure has been proposed where the formocresol pulpotomy is done with smaller access to the pulp chamber. In our study formocresol pulpotomy was carried out in 128 primary molar teeth with a limited amount of access opening, saving a bit of more tooth structure, which excludes the requirement of placement of a stainless steel crown (SSC). In 2 years follow-up period, no crown fracture was reported. One hundred fifteen teeth remain vital at the end of 2 years period of observation with the periodic clinical and radiographic review. The result shows 89.4% clinical and radiographic success of this nonconventional pulpotomy procedure that corroborates with several studies of the conventional formocresol pulpotomy procedure.
