Pulp treatment for extensive decay in primary teeth

Dental Material Choices for Pulp Therapy in Paediatric Dentistry

“…This finding agrees with that of a recent Cochrane review, in which similar successful clinical outcomes at 6 and 12 months were illustrated for both materials, with a trend for better outcomes for MTA at 2 years, although the difference was not statistically significant (24). It was surprising to find that some clinicians were still using FC for pulpotomy in primary teeth because this has become a very difficult dental material to obtain.…”

“…This pattern of use aligns with evidence that supports the use of CHP for partial pulpotomy in permanent teeth, with a reported success rate of 93.5% over 4 years (27). There are similar reported success rates for CHP and MTA for partial pulpotomy, although the situation is less clear for complete pulpotomy because many studies do not clarify the type of Ca(OH) 2 used (24,28,29). In the present study, the preference of CHP over MTA for pulpotomy in anterior teeth and the corresponding preference for MTA for pulpotomy in posterior teeth most likely reflects concerns regarding the discolouration of treated teeth rather than concerns regarding effectiveness (23).…”

Milchzahnendodontie

“…Im aktuell publizierten Coch-rane-Review zeigt MTA gegenüber Kalziumhydroxid nach 12 und 24 Monaten Beobachtung statistisch bessere klinisch-radiologische Ergebnisse. Allerdings ist das Evidenzniveau nach wie vor als schwach einzustufen [24]. Die Erfolgsquoten von MTA bewegen sich derzeit zwischen 94 und 100 % [23 -25].…”

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: A review of clinical usage and investigations of the effects of modifying particle size

“…305 There are similar reported success rates for CHP and MTA for partial pulpotomies, 306,307 although the situation is less clear for complete pulpotomies as many studies do not clarify the type of CH used. 303 In the present study, the preference of CHP over MTA for pulpotomy in anterior teeth and the corresponding preference for MTA for pulpotomy in posterior teeth most likely reflect concerns regarding discolouration of treated teeth rather than concerns regarding effectiveness.…”
