THE EVALUATION OF TREATMENT RESULTS OF PULPOTOMY ON SECOND PRIMARY MOLARS USING BIODENTINE AT HO CHI MINH CITY ODONTO-MAXILLO FACIAL HOSPITAL IN 2023–2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Pulpotomy is a common procedure performed on preparing a cavity with pulp exposure over 1mm or reversible pulpitis in primary teeth to preserve them until the eruption of permanent ones. Objectives: 1) To describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics of patients with second primary molars indicated for pulpotomy. 2) To evaluate the treatment outcomes of pulpotomy using Biodentine on second primary molars at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with clinical intervention without a control group was conducted on 34 pediatric patients aged 4 to 8 years old, who were indicated for pulp chamber treatment of second primary molars at the Ho Chi Minh City Odonto-Maxillo Facial Hospital from 2023 to 2024. These patients were included using a convenient sampling method. Results: Clinical and radiographic characteristics of pediatric patients: All treated teeth exhibited lesions on the occlusal surface. Regarding the size of the carious lesions, most treated teeth had medium-sized cavities (52.9%). In the diagnostic treatment process, 73.5% of the teeth had dental caries, and 26.5% had reversible pulpitis. The outcomes of Pulpotomy Using Biodentine in Second Primary Molars at 1 Month and 3 Months: At the 1-month follow-up, all treated teeth were clinically successful. At the 3-month follow-up, 97.1% were both clinically and radiographically successful. Among these, 3 teeth (8.8%) showed grade 3 dentin bridge formation on radiographs. Conclusion: Biodentine was used and achieved good results in the pulpotomy treatment of second primary molars.
