Abstract

Background: Maintaining the pulpaly involved deciduous teeth in a healthy state until the time of normal exfoliation remains to be one of the challenges for pedodontics. The present study was conducted to compare formocresol and mineral trioxide aggregate in deciduous teeth.

Materials & Methods: 30 deciduous molar of children aged 3- 8 years of age were divided into 2 groups of 15 each. In group I, pulpotomy was done with formocresol and in group II, pulpotomy was done with MTA.

Results: Group I had 10 males and 5 females and group II had 8 males and 7 females. There was comparatively less pain, fistula formation, abscess and mobility in group II as compared to group I recorded at 3 months and 6 months (P< 0.05).

 Conclusion: Mineral trioxide aggregate better as compared to formocresol in terms of pain, fistula formation, abscess and mobility.
