| ABSTRACT:Purpose: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of the postoperative success of Calcium Phosphate and formocreosl (FC) materials in pulpotomy treatment of primary teeth. Materials and Method: 75 Primary molars in 25 patients were chosen according to specific criteria. Teeth were devided depending on the pulpotomy material into 3 groups: Group I (Calcium phosphate with physiologic saline cleansing group), Group II (Calcium phosphate with Sodium hypochlorite) and GroupIII (formcresol group). This was followed by clinical follow up after 1, 6 months and a year. In addition, Periapical radiographs were collected post-operatively, 6 and 12 months visits. Results: Despite decreasing with time, the results showed no statistically significant difference in the cumulative clinical success between all three groups on the study period. Also, Radiographic success had a similar pattern over a year with no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: Calcium Phosphate as a pulpotomy material was observed to be a valuable alternative to regularly used formocresol with greater biocompatibility, mouldability, and osteoconductivity. | ||||
