Ferric Sulfate and Sodium Hypochlorite Pulpotomies in Vital Primary Teeth
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This study aims to compare the clinical and radiographic success of two commonly used pulpotomy agents, ferric sulfate (FS) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), in vital primary molars. Pulpotomy is a widely used vital pulp therapy procedure in pediatric dentistry to preserve primary teeth until their natural exfoliation.
The study will include children aged 4-9 years who previously received pulpotomy treatment using either FS or NaOCl at Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry. No additional treatment will be performed as part of this study. Patients will be followed during routine clinical visits at 6, 12, and 24 months.
Clinical outcomes such as pain, mobility, and infection, as well as radiographic findings including resorption and radiolucency, will be evaluated. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence for the effectiveness of these materials and support clinical decision-making in pediatric dental practice.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Clinical and Radiographic Success Rate of Pulpotomy — 24 months
The primary outcome is the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy-treated primary teeth. Clinical success is defined as the absence of pain, mobility, fistula, abscess, or tenderness to percussion. Radiographic success is defined as the absence of internal or external resorption, periapical or furcal radiolucency, and other pathological findings.
