Topics include use of formocresol in pulpotomy in primary molars, randomized clinical trial conducted by researchers to compare the effects of formocresol and sodium hypochlorite in children undergoing pulpotomy, and results indicating low risk of bias owing to outcome measurement.

The article presents a study which discusses uncertainty about outcomes of high rate of tooth retention and periapical health 10 years after nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT). Topics include factors influencing outcomes of teeth undergoing NSRCT, a retrospective cohort study conducted by researchers to analyse 10-year outcomes of NSRCT, and results indicating high rate of tooth retention.
