Conclusion BD and MTA have similar clinical and radiographic success rates based on limited and low‐ quality evidence .
Objectives Pulpotomy is the favored treatment for pulp exposure in carious primary teeth .
This review aim ed to compare the success rates of biodentine ( BD ) and mineral trioxide aggregate ( MTA ) pulpotomies  in primary molars using meta‐ analysis ( MA ) and trial sequential analysis ( TSA ) and also to assess the quality of the results by Grading of Recommendations , Assessment , Development and Evaluation ( GRADE ) .
Comparative Evaluation of Clinical and Radiographic Success of Formocresol, Propolis, Turmeric Gel, and Calcium Hydroxide on Pulpotomized Primary Molars: A Preliminary Study
Aims Despite various advents in technology , the present era marks a shift to phytotherapeutics and alternative modalities to conventional endodontic treatments . Newer endodontic modalities have been developed inculcating the ancient system of medicine . The present study was done to compare and evaluate the clinical pulp response and radiographic signs after pulpotomy in four groups of primary molar teeth treated with formocresol ( control ) , propolis extract , turmeric gel , and calcium hydroxide respectively . Material s and methods Following ethical clearance , 90 primary molar teeth in 45 pediatric patients , aged between 4 and 9 years , were selected for pulpotomy . These were then r and omly divided by split-mouth technique into two groups as experimental ( propolis extract/turmeric gel/calcium hydroxide ) and control ( formocresol ) groups . The patients were followed up for 6 months for clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms to evaluate the success of treatment . Results A comparable clinical and radiographic success rate was seen with all experimental groups as compared to the control ( formocresol ) group . Conclusion With concerns about the safety of formocresol appearing in the dental and medical literature for more than 20 years , the material s used in this study can be considered as promising alternatives for formocresol in pediatric endodontic treatment .
