Abstract
Aim:The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success rate of antioxidant mix versusformocresol(FC) , used in vital pulpotomy in primary molars.Study design:The sample size includes fifty two 1ry mandibular molarsdivided randomly into two groups(26 in each group).Teeth were treated by conventional pulpotomy technique then after stasis of bleeding, either antioxidant mix was placed over the orifice or cotton pellet with a 1:5 dilution of Buckley’s FC was placed 3-5 minutes then removed, a layer of reinforced ZOE was placed and the tooth was covered with stainless steel crown.Clinical and radiographic outcomes wereassessed after 3, 6 and 9 months.Results:At 9 months, there was no significant difference between both groups regarding clinical success (p=0.637). However, there was a significant difference in radiographic success (p =0.00009), with 46.2% success in antioxidant group and 84.6% success in FCgroup .Conclusions:Antioxidant mix doesn{u2019}t show better results clinically nor radiographically than FC when used as pulpotomy agent in primary molars. The clinical success of antioxidant mix was significantly higher than its radiographic success
