Abstract
Aim: To evaluate clinical and radiographic performance of Allium Sativum oil dressed in Zinc Oxide
versus Mineral trioxide aggregate as pulp dressing material in pulpotomized lower primary molars.
Methodology: This randomized pilot clinical trial included 30 lower primary molars indicated for vital
pulpotomy and randomly allocated into two equal groups (n=15): group (I): pulpotomy using A. Sativum
oil dressed in ZnO and group (II): pulpotomy using Mineral trioxide aggregate as pulpotomy agent. All
teeth were finally restored with stainless steel crowns and evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3,
6, 9 and 12 months of time interval using predetermined criteria.
Results: The overall clinical success rate of group (I) and group (II) at the end of 12 months follow-up
was (93.3%) and (100.0%) respectively. There was no statistical significance difference between two
groups regarding overall clinical success rate. The overall radiographic success rate at the end of 12
months was (40.0%) and (100.0%) respectively. There was a statistical significant difference regarding
overall radiographic success rate at 9 and 12 months follow-up. The overall success rate of group (I) and
group (II) at the end of 12 months was (40.0%) and (100.0%) showing a statistically significant
difference between the two groups
