Aim: The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical and radiographic success of and formocresol (FC) as a pulpotomy medicament in primary molars.

Materials And Methods: A total of 72 asymptomatic or symptomatic vital primary molars were selected and were assigned to two groups: group II: Buckley's FC, group II: gel. The clinical and radiographic success were evaluated using Zurn and Seale criteria. The data were statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test.

Results: At three and 6 months follow-up, the clinical success rate of and FC was equally effective. showed a higher radiographic success rate compared to FC ( > 0.05). At 6 months follow-up, FC showed a higher radiographic success rate compared to ( > 0.05).

Conclusion: The clinical and radiographic success of both groups were equally effective at the end of 6 months follow-up. can be considered as an alternative pulpotomy medicament to FC. But, further long-term follow-up studies and histological studies are required.
