Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the success rates of pulpotomies across different age groups and identified risk factors influencing these outcomes.
- Results showed that factors like age did not significantly impact success rates, but the formation of a dentin bridge was beneficial, while resin composite restorations had a notably higher failure rate.
- The findings suggest that pulpotomy can be effective for both young and older patients, but caution is advised when using direct composite restorations post-procedure.
Purpose: The purpose of this study, which is a series of consecutive case reports, was to describe and evaluate the protocol used in the treatment of pulpal necrosed of primary molars, used by the dental service of Social Support Foundation of the Moinhos de Vento Hospital, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil.
Methods: Eighteen primary molars in 15 children, ranging from 4 to 10 years of age, were endodontically treated using ultrasonic instrumentation.
Results: Clinical and radiographic controls showed a success rate of 94%, considering an evaluation time of 14.
