Pulpotomy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Low-level Laser Therapy in Human Primary Molar Pulpotomies: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
This study aimed to assess and compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of LLLT and FC for pulpotomy in human primary teeth. One hundred and six primary molars from 36 children aging five to eight years were included and randomly assigned into two equal groups; LLLT group and FC group. Teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Background: Various agents are available to dress the remaining pulp tissue after pulpotomy
procedure with the formocresol (FC) being the gold standard for the last 60 years. Nowadays,
low-level laser therapy (LLLT) becomes a technique of interest, due to its many
characteristics. However, the literature available on its success in pulpotomy is limited and
reported conflicting results.
Aim of the study: To assess and compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of LLLT
and FC for pulpotomy in human primary teeth.
Materials and methods: Utilizing split-mouth technique, the sample consisted of 106 primary
molars from 36 children aging five to eight years. The teeth were selected based on specific
clinical and radiographic inclusion criteria and randomly assigned into two equal groups;
LLLT group and FC group. All the 106 primary molars were indicated for pulpotomy, where 53
teeth were treated using FC and 53 teeth were treated with LLLT. Teeth were evaluated
clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months.
