| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of the study was to assess the success rate, clinical and radiographic findings of two bioceramics, Mineral Trioxide Aggregates (MTA) versus Biodentine, used in pulpotomy of primary teeth. Materials and methods: Eighty primary molars requiring pulpotomy satisfying the inclusion criteria selected from healthy and cooperative 80 children aged 5–7 years were enrolled in study. Eighty teeth were randomly allocated to two groups: MTA group; and Biodentine group. All teeth were restored with stainless steel crowns. Follow up was done after 1, 6, 9 and 12 months for clinical and radiographic assessment. Results: Clinical success rate was 100% in both groups after 1- and 6- months follow-up period, while the rate of success was 90% for each group by the end of follow up period (one year). No statistically significant difference in the clinical success rate throughout the study was revealed. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in the mode of failure either by internal root resorption (p=.555), external root resorption (p=.555), furcal radiolucency and widening of periodontal ligament (p=.645). | ||||
