Abstract
Pulpotomy is the most common pulp treatment of primary molars, where surgical amputation of infected coronal pulp results in preserving the vitality and function of radicular pulp. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological and histological efficacy of live yeast cell derivative and formocresol as pulpotomy medicament. Pulpotomy was done in 96 teeth in 72 children, aged between 5-10years. The radicular pulp were treated using live yeast cell derivative (LYCD) and formocresol. Following the pulpotomy procedure, the teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically and histologically at 3 and 6 month intervals. Clinical and Radiological results evaluated by Fishers exact test, showed no statistically significance between the two groups with two-tailed p-value 0.8629 (P>0.05). Histological picture of LYCD resembles normal pulp tissue cellularity while formocresol showed pulp fibrosis and viable apical tissue. Results from our study showed that LYCD can be considered as alternative biocompatible pulpotomy agent. Further studies using larger samples and longer evaluation periods are recommended.
