Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3Mixtatin and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for pulpotomy in primary teeth by assessment of pre- and postoperative clinical and radiographic data.
Materials And Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 50 primary molars from 48 healthy children aged 3-8 years were randomly allocated into two groups. Deep dentinal caries approaching pulp in primary teeth were treated by pulpotomy using MTA and 3Mixtatin. Over the intervening period, restoration was done using glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite, followed by stainless steel crown. Clinical and radiographic examinations were conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. The data were compared using Chi-squared test at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: A total of 39 patients were available for follow-up study. By the end of 12 months, the overall success rates were 95.5% in MTA and 91.3% in 3Mixtatin. No statistically significant difference was found among the outcomes of MTA and 3Mixtatin groups ( > 0.05).
Conclusion: Radiographic and clinical outcomes in MTA and 3Mixtatin group in this study show 3Mixtatin as a suitable alternative for pulpotomy medicament in primary teeth.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical performance of 3D printed endocrowns (ECs) and prefabricated zirconia crowns (PZRCs) in restoring pulpotomized primary molars, over 3, 6, and 12 months.
Methods: Thirty pulpotomized mandibular primary molars in 16 children aged 4-8 years were randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio into two groups: group (A), PZRCs, and group (B), 3D-printed ECs. All restorations were evaluated for esthetic, functional, and biological properties using FDI criteria at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals.

To assess the effectiveness of Biodentine (BD), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and ferric sulfate (FS) as pulpotomy agents in primary molars and evaluate the impact of behavior guidance strategies on pulpotomy success. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, data from 374 cases (50.5 percent male, aged two to 10 years) undergoing 469 pulpotomies at a university pediatric clinic between April 1, 2016 and January 1, 2020 were analyzed.

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent dental illnesses in children. Untreated severe caries can damage teeth, requiring pulpotomy to save them. To evaluate the clinical success rate of treatments involving pulpotomies + IRM (Intermediate Restorative Material, composed of reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol polymers) + preformed metal crowns (PMCs) in primary teeth of children treated at a public university in Mexico.

Statement Of The Problem: Success of pulpotomy of primary teeth depends on biological and cytotoxic effects of pulp capping agents. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement, and ferric sulfate (FS) are among the commonly used pulp capping agents (PCAs) for pulpotomy, and their successful application has been previously evaluated.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of PCAs against mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs).
