Abstract
The objective of this report is to assess clinically and radiographically the state of the primary molars pulpotomized with a 15.5% ferric sulfate solution. The subjects selected were healthy children treated at the pediatric dental clinic of the Seoul National University Hospital in Korea. Thirty teeth were pulpotomized with a ferric sulfate solution(FS). Another twenty-one teeth were pulpotomized with 20% dilute formocresol(FC). Clinical and radiographic data for the fifty-one primary molars were collected with a mean follow-up period of 34 months. The success rate for the FS group was 80.0%. The success rate for the FC group was 81.0%. The differences in the results between the two groups were analyzed statistically utilizing the chi square test. External root resorption was observed in four teeth of FS group and four of the FC group. Periapical bone destruction was observed in three of FS group and two of FC group. There were no significant statistical differences between the success rates for FS group and the FC group.
