Abstract
- This study aimed to assess the success of pulpotomy in primary molars using Biodentine, new-developed tri-calcium, di-calcium-based silicate cement, at 6 and 12 months. The hypothesis was that stages of root resorption could influence the treatment success. A novel composite score was used based on five clinical and radiographic outcomes: soft-tissue pathology, pain to percussion, pathologic mobility, radiolucency and pathologic root resorption. Patients' compliance and intraoperative pain experience were recorded using the Frankl scale and the Wong–Baker scale. A total of 22 primary molars, 9 in stage S (stability) and 13 in stage R (resorption) were submitted to pulpotomy using Biodentine and restored with composite resin. The success rate was 92.3% in the R group compared to 100% in the S group at both 6 and 12 months (p = 0.850). There was no statistically significant effect of type of molar, tooth position and type of carious lesions on the composite outcome (all p > 0.05). Overall, 73% of the children experienced no or mild/moderate pain and 77% had a cooperative attitude. Children younger than 7 years old experienced more pain (p = 0.04). Biodentine is a promising biomaterial for pulpotomy of primary teeth regardless of the stage of root resorption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
