Abstract Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic efficacy of premixed bioceramic putty (BCP) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as as pulpotomy medicaments in primary molars. Subjects and Methods: Forty primary molars of 20 healthy 4- to 8-year-old children indicated for vital pulpotomy were treated with splits-mouth configuration. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n = 20) according to used capping bioceramic materials (MTA or premixed BCP). Three mm of premixed bioceramic putty or MTA followed by thick mixture of glass ionomer cement (GIC) as an intermediate restorative material then stainless-steel crown (SSC) serving as the final restoration. At one, three, and six months, the teeth's therapeutic outcomes were evaluated clinically and radiographically. All binary outcome data at various time intervals were statistically analyzed. Results: After six months, the premixed bioceramic putty exhibits superior statistical success rates in terms of clinical and radiological outcomes, ranging from 100% to 95% respectively, compared to the mixed MTA's success rates, which showed 90% to 80%, respectively. Conclusions: Bioceramic putty showed promising outcomes as pulpotomy medication and can be used as successful alternative for treating pulpotomized primary molars. | ||||
