The Clinical and Radiographic Success of Primary Molar Pulpotomy Using Biodentine™ and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A 24-Month Randomized Clinical Trial.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic success of Biodentine ™ and mineral trioxide aggregate ( MTA ) pulpotomy in primary molars . METHODS Thirty-two four- to nine-year-olds were included in this study . The primary molars were r and omly assigned to the Biodentine ™ and MTA groups . After coronal pulp removal and hemostasis , the remaining pulp tissue was covered with Biodentine ™ or MTA . All teeth were restored with stainless steel crowns . Clinical and radiographic successes and failures were recorded at six- , 12- , 18- and 24-month follow-ups . Data were statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests . RESULTS The 24-month follow-up evaluations revealed that the clinical success rates were 96.8 percent ( 30 out of 31 ) for both Biodentine ™ and MTA . The radiographic success rates at 24 months were 93.6 percent ( 29 out of 31 ) for Biodentine ™ and 87.1 percent ( 27 out of 31 ) for MTA . No significant differences were found among the groups at all follow-up appointments ( P>0.05 ) Conclusion : Biodentine ™ and mineral trioxide aggregate did not differ significantly in combined clinical and radiographic success after 24 months
