Calcium hydroxide pulpotomy for primary teeth: a clinical study.

J Heilig, J Yates, M Siskin

    Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
    |May 1, 1984

    Summary

    Calcium hydroxide pulpotomies show promise for primary teeth. This study found aluminum chloride-calcium hydroxide pulpotomy a viable alternative to formocresol, with high clinical and radiographic success rates in primary molars.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Dental Materials Science

    Background:

    • Primary molar pulpotomy is crucial for maintaining dental arch integrity.
    • Formocresol has been a standard but raises safety concerns.
    • Alternative biocompatible materials are needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of calcium hydroxide pulpotomies in primary mandibular molars.
    • To compare the efficacy of aluminum chloride as a hemostatic agent in conjunction with calcium hydroxide.
    • To assess the viability of this pulpotomy technique as an alternative to formocresol.

    Main Methods:

    • Seventeen carious primary mandibular molars underwent calcium hydroxide pulpotomy.
    • Variables were controlled, including two hemorrhage control methods (aluminum chloride evaluated).

  • Treatment duration ranged from 3 to 9 months, with clinical and radiographic assessments.

    • Main Results:

    • All 17 teeth demonstrated clinical success.
    • Radiographic evaluations favored the experimental group over the control.
    • 15 teeth were radiographically successful, 1 questionable, and 1 unsuccessful.

    Conclusions:

    • Aluminum chloride-calcium hydroxide pulpotomy appears to be a viable alternative to formocresol pulpotomies in primary teeth.
    • Further long-term follow-up and histologic studies are warranted.
    • This technique shows potential for improved radiographic outcomes.
