Pulpal tissue changes following pulpotomies with formocresol, glutaraldehyde-calcium hydroxide, glutaraldehyde-zinc oxide eugenol pastes in primary teeth.

Abstract

Pulpal tissue changes following pulpotomies with formocresol, glutaraldehyde-calcium hydroxide and glutaraldehyde-zinc oxide eugenol pastes in primary teeth were investigated for a period of 12 months. Compared with the other groups, clinical, radiographic and histologic examinations revealed glutaraldehyde-zinc oxide eugenol combination had a higher success rate.
