[Use of glutaraldehyde in pulpotomy of deciduous teeth]

The Author reports the results obtained over a period of time with pulpotomy performed on deciduous teeth with the use of a nontamponed 2% solution of glutaraldehyde. Clinical and radiographic follow-up showed a success rate of 97.5% at 6 months and 96% at 12 months. The Author considers that the use of endodontic glutaraldehyde therapy is a valid alternative particularly with regard to formocresol.
