Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Do clinical, operator and restoration-related factors influence the long-term success of MTA pulpotomy in primary molars?
In this study, children who received MTA pulpotomy treatment were examined at the 24-month follow-up visit, scheduled at the beginning of the study. Two examiners checked the clinical condition of the teeth, and two other examiners reviewed the radiographs without knowing the clinical results.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Clinical and radiographic findings were scored based on criteria originally established by Zurn and Seale, subsequently adapted by Rajasekharan et al., and recently by Cordell et al. The risk factors that could have influenced treatment failure were also documented, including arch type (maxillary or mandibular), tooth type (first or second primary molar), side (right or left), number of restored surfaces, and restoration quality. Restoration quality was assessed using the modified FDI criteria assessing esthetic, functional, and biological properties.
