Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate clinically, radiographically and histologically the postoperative success of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) and formocreosl (FC) in pulpotomy procedures for primary teeth. Materials and Method: 70 Primary molars found in 27 patients were selected according to inclusion criteria. In the first part of the study pulpotomy was accomplished in 22 patients having 60 teeth (30 each group) and depending on the type of radicular pulp medicament, the teeth were divided randomly and equally into 2 groups: Group I(FC) and Group II (ABS). Clinical follow up was done after 1,3,6 and 9 months.Periapical radiographs were taken at 3 ,6 and 9 months follow up visits . In the second part of the study 10 primary molars were found in 5 patients planned for extraction due to orthodontic purpose were treated by pulpotomy procedure. Teeth were divided into2 groups(5 each group) and the teeth were extracted after 2 months for observation under light microscope. Results: No statistically significant difference between groups in the overall cumulative clinical or radiographic success at follow up periods. Histopathological examination revealed dentin bridge formation and continuous regular arrangement of odontoblastic layer at the pulp dentin junction along the root length in primary molars treated with ABS while FC specimens revealed Severe pulp hyperemia with thrombus formation at the entrance of pulp canal. Conclusion: ABS can be considered as good natural alternative to FC in primary molars pulpotomy.
