CALATAYUD, J; CASADO, I e ALVAREZ, C. Analysis of clinical studies on the effectiveness of alternatives to formocresol in primary tooth pulpotomies. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2006, vol.22, n.4, pp.229-239. ISSN 2340-3152.
After analyzing clinical studies on alternatives to formocresol in primary tooth pulpotomies-calcium hydroxide, electrosurgery, glutaraldehyde, ferric sulphate and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) the authors conclude that the last three are the most effective, as they present the best early results and the smallest number of failures over time. Generally speaking, the clinical success rate declines in all these techniques with time, from 95-100% after six months to 80-90% after three years. The only exception is MTA, which continues to exhibit excellent results (100% success) after two years, according to the fairly small number of clinical studies published.
