Laser Pulpotomy with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate yields best outcomes: Study
Researchers have found in a new study that Pulpotomy with Calcium Hydroxide and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) show comparable success rates. However Laser pulpotomy combined with MTA yields the best clinical and radiographic outcomes.The findings of research are based on evaluations across multiple time periods.
Vital pulpotomy involves the partial removal of the coronal pulp tissue in cases of vital pulp exposure, aiming to maintain the health and function of the remaining radicular pulp.
The first aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different methodological approaches towards vital pulpotomy of the primary teeth-conventional and laser pulpotomy; thereafter, the aim was to perform a comparison of the effects of the application of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) versus mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA); then, we analyzed and compared clinical and radiographic changes in pulpotomized teeth over a defined time period; finally, we determined the degree of efficiency of different methods of vital pulpotomy of the primary teeth.
