BACKGROUND: Vital pulpotomy is a single-stage procedure of surgical amputation of
the coronal portion of exposed vital pulp, usually as a means of preserving the
vitality and function of the remaining radicular portion. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic success rates
for ferric sulfate (FS), electrosurgery (ES) and laser pulpotomy in human primary
molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a randomized clinical trial, 30 primary molars
indicated for pulpotomy in children aged 4 to 10 years were treated using either
a FS (10 teeth), ES technique (10 teeth) and laser (10 teeth). Following the
pulpotomy, the teeth were evaluated for clinical and radiographic success at 3,
6, 9 and 12 months on the basis of the presence of pain, sinus, mobility,
internal and external resorption, periapical radiolucency, calcification in the
canal and bone loss. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The data were assessed with Chi-square
test. RESULTS: After 12 months of follow-up, both clinical and radiographic
success rates were 100% in the laser group but only 80% in both ES and FS groups.
There was statistically significant difference between the success rates of three
groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Laser pulpotomy showed better clinical as well as
radiographical results than ES and FS pulpotomy. Laser pulpotomy was also found
superior in terms of operating time, patient cooperation, ease of use and pain.
Although results of the study showed the failure rates for electrosurgical
pulpotomy to be equal to those for FS pulpotomy, electrosurgical pulpotomy being
a nonpharmacological technique considered more favorable. Further studies using
larger sample size and longer evaluation periods are suggested. How to cite this
