Abstract
Evaluation of Modified Portland Cement versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as a pulpotomy agent in Primary Molars: Histological Study
Highlights
Many Researches in the field of Dental Sciences were motivated by conserving of Dental Pulp vitality in Primary and Permanent teeth [1]
The root Pulp was covered with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or Modified Portland Cement (MPC) and a layer of Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and the tooth were filled with amalgam eventually
Modified Portland Cement has showed no significant differences in terms of inflammation response, soft tissue organization, and Dentinal bridge formation in comparison with MTA in the observation period
Summary
Many Researches in the field of Dental Sciences were motivated by conserving of Dental Pulp vitality in Primary and Permanent teeth [1]. Pulpotomy was considered as the most common treatment method of Vital pulp in Primary Molars; and has gained high rate of clinical and radiological success [3]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the histological response of dental pulp tissue in primary molars to Modified Portland Cement (MPC) mixed with Zirconium Oxide and Calcium Chloride in comparison with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). The teeth were extracted after one week, one month, and two months respectively and histological samples were collected and evaluated Based on the Inflammation response, soft tissue organization, and Dentinal bridge formation. Results: Modified Portland Cement has showed no significant differences in terms of inflammation response, soft tissue organization, and Dentinal bridge formation in comparison with MTA in the observation period. Conclusion: MPC can be a replacement material of MTA in terms of primary molars pulpotomy
