“…Condenser size in the present study had a diameter of 1.0 mm on the smaller end and 2.0 mm on the larger end so that the mixed material is adapted properly to all cavity walls, margins, and line angles. In addition to mechanical condensing tools, the wet cotton pellet can be used separately or in combination with hand condenser to place the pulpal medicament ( Musale et al, 2018 ). Group II and the second step of group III in the current study, a smaller pellet size was applied to facilitate ZOE packing.…”

Purpose To compare three condensation techniques of zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) as a pulpal dressing material during pulpotomy in extracted primary molars. Material and Methods Sixty primary first and second molars were embedded in individual wax casts and divided into three groups consisting of 20 teeth each. In group I, the ZOE base was condensed by an amalgam condenser, while a moist cotton pellet was used in group II. A combination of an amalgam condenser and a wet cotton pellet tested the condensation mentod in group III. The condensation quality of the three techniques was evaluated through two digital periapical radiographs taken in a lateral and anterior-posterior direction. Results Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there was no significant difference between the technique and quality of ZOE compaction. However, a significant difference was observed on condensation assessment for combined three groups on lateral radiographs vs the appearance on antero-posterior radiographs with the p-value set at < 0.05. Conclusion Voids appeared with all three techniques. A combination of an amalgam condenser and the wet cotton wool pellet was the least effective method of condensation. Lateral radiographs revealed much fewer spaces between the ZOE and pulpal floor in comparison to antero-posterior images.

“…Appropriate material thickness in the case of pulpotomy amounts up to 3–4 mm. The thickness and compaction of the MTA layer can be assessed with X-ray [ 49 ]. The coronal excess of material should be removed with use of cotton pellet or mechanically with burs.…”

Dental trauma may have a severe impact on the social and psychological wellbeing of a patient. Most cases of dental injuries involve anterior teeth, especially the maxillary upper incisors. Crown fractures, with or without pulp exposure, are the most common trauma in permanent dentition. There are many methods of management, in which the initial state of the pulp, the time since the injury, and the presence of an accompanying injury play a key role. This case report aimed at showing a possible conservative treatment after complicated tooth fracture that consisted of partial pulpotomy followed by adhesive reattachment of the tooth fragment using a technique based on heated resin composite. Such a specific procedure represents a conservative approach to traumatic coronal lesions, providing a suitable opportunity to maintain the tooth vitality, aesthetics, and function. Indeed, reattachment of tooth fragment using a composite/adhesive is a simple technique to achieve excellent results in terms of aesthetic and function.

“…The success of the calcium silicate and calcium aluminate cements for vital pulp therapy, including pulpotomies in permanent teeth, may delay or avoid root canal therapy. 103,257,262,263 Several pulpotomy studies reported 127,[264][265][266][267][268][269][270][271][272][273][274] highly successful outcomes using the calcium silicate cement products. Other studies compared the calcium silicate cements to the former standard of care in primary tooth pulpotomies (formocresol) [275][276][277] showing the equality or superiority of the calcium silicate cements for various pediatric dental procedures.…”

Calcium silicate cements were identified as excellent materials for dentistry, particularly for dental procedures contacting the dental pulp or root system. Both calcium silicate and calcium aluminate cements cause the biomineralization (precipitation of hydroxyapatite [HA] phenomena and shield dental tissues from the underlying cement (a foreign body material). The cements also elute ions to stimulate cytokines that contribute to the healing of the dental pulp or in the tissue surrounding the root of a tooth. The cements serve as a foundation for other dental restorative materials. This paper reviews the cement phases, properties, in vivo reactions, and clinical benefits from the use of calcium silicate and calcium aluminate ceramic cements.
