Clinical and radiographic Comparison of Ferric sulfate and Formocresol pulpotomy Technique in primary teeth

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic effects of Formocresol (FC) to that of Ferric sulfate (FS) in pulpotomized primary molars with carious pulp exposure. Methods & Materials: This study was performed as sequential matched controlled double blind randomized clinical trial. Sixty teeth of 30 children age 3- 6 years old were treated by a conventional pulpotomy technique. The identical teeth on two sides were randomly assigned to FC or FS. In the control group FC and in the experimental group FS was placed. The clinical and radiographic follow up was done at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. The data was analyzed by chi - square test. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in successful clinical and radiological outcome between two groups. Conclusion: Ferric sulfate can be used versus formocresol in primary teeth pulpotomy.
