There can be no doubt that a reparative, biologic approach to pediatric pulp therapy is preferable to the absolutist, devitalization approach of formocresol pulpotomy or primary tooth pulpectomy, and research into alternatives is not only Formocresol (FC) has been used as a "gold standard" in pulpotomy, but concerns over the use of formocresol currently exists as it has been shown to be mutagenic and carcinogenic. 0000022723 00000 n

Ideal properties of Pulpotomy Material. Formocresol is a long–term clinically–successful medicament for use in the pulpotomy procedure, mostly due to its excellent clinical success and ease in use [ 2 ]. Electrosurgery does little to improve on the formocresol pulpotomy save avoiding chemicals. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success rates of mineral trioxide aggregate partial pulpotomy (PP) compared to formocresol pulpotomy (FP) in human primary molars.
