Disease relevance of Pulpotomy

• In the present study, 24 permanent teeth of individuals, aged 10-22 years and diagnosed as hyperplastic pulpitis were treated by pulpotomy using an atraumatic surgical technique with calcium hydroxide alone [1].

High impact information on Pulpotomy

• In conclusion, calcium hydroxide is less appropriate for pulpotomies than is formocresol [2].
• As part of an overall evaluation of possible substitutes for the pulpotomy agent formocresol, this study was initiated to compare the antigenicity of the reaction products of protein with formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, or dimethylsuberimidate (DMS) [3].
• Our findings suggest that if non-immunogenicity of a pulpotomy agent is a desirable property, then DMS does not meet the criteria of an alternative pulp fixative [3].
• The aim of the present study was to investigate the neuropeptide CGRP in order to determine the effect on dentin bridge formation during the healing process after pulpotomy [4].
• Neurotensin-like immunoreactivity in odontoblasts and their processes in rat maxillary molar teeth and the effect of pulpotomy [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Pulpotomy

• Assessment of the systemic distribution and toxicity of glutaraldehyde as a pulpotomy agent [6].
• CONCLUSIONS: This evidence-based assessment concluded that, in human carious primary molars with reversible coronal pulpitis, pulpotomies performed with either formocresol or ferric sulfate are likely to have similar clinical/radiographic success [7].
• CONCLUSIONS: In human carious primary molars with reversible coronal pulpitis, pulpotomies performed with either formocresol or ferric sulphate are likely to have similar clinical/radiographic success [8].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pulpitis was induced with fresh human carious dentine or Streptococcus mutans placed into occlusal cavities in 57 primary molars; after 14 days a pulpotomy was performed on the same primary molars with the two pulp medicaments randomly allocated; the pulp was covered with IRM and the cavity filled with amalgam [9].

Anatomical context of Pulpotomy

• Formocresol, a preparation of formalin and cresol, is also used as a root canal medicament and for pulpotomy of primary teeth [10].
• Healing process of dog dental pulp after pulpotomy and pulp covering with calcium hydroxide in powder or paste form [11].
• Electrocoagulation extends the indication of calcium hydroxide pulpotomy in the primary dentition [12].
• After pulpotomy was performed in the premolar and molar teeth of dogs, the exposed pulp tissue at the root canal opening was lased using either a CO2 or Nd:YAG laser [13].
• BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In research facilities using non-human primates, crown-height reduction with partial coronal pulpectomy ("vital pulpotomy") is routinely performed on canine teeth of adult male monkeys to reduce self-trauma and the potential for injury to staff or cage-mates [14].

Associations of Pulpotomy with chemical compounds

• Systemic absorption of 14C-glutaraldehyde from glutaraldehyde-treated pulpotomy sites [15].
• Radiographic success of ferric sulfate and formocresol pulpotomies in relation to early exfoliation [16].
• Periodontal changes following coronal/root perforation and formocresol pulpotomy [17].
• CONCLUSIONS: The interim treatment of eugenol pulpotomy using either restorative material reliably prevented pain for six months [18].
• The results of this study suggest that the aluminum chloride-calcium hydroxide pulpotomy may be a viable alternative to formocresol pulpotomies in the primary dentition [19].

Gene context of Pulpotomy

• The results indicate that the three cresol isomers are effective ROS scavengers and may prevent ROS induced damage when used as pulpotomy agents or as intracanal medicaments [20].
• The enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (LD), succinate dehydrogenase (SD), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) were evaluated at specific locations in pulp tissue following glutaraldehyde pulpotomies [21].
• Alternative dressings for formocresol pulpotomies such as 6.25% glutaraldehyde solution, antigen-extracted allogeneic dentin matrix, and crude bone morphogenetic protein are reported with promising results [22].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pulpotomy

• Formocresol and calcium hydroxide pulpotomies, while still popular, may soon be challenged by other chemical treatments, electrocautery or stimulation of reparative dentine by growth factors [23].
• The difference seen in the other study, where more teeth treated by ferric sulphate pulpotomy were extracted compared to zinc oxide eugenol pulpectomy, must be viewed with caution [24].
• The pulpal perforations were treated by partial pulpotomy with a tungsten carbide fissure bur after exposure for 4, 48, or 168 hours in nine animals, and by direct pulp capping after exposure for 4 or 48 hours in the remaining four animals [25].
• In cases with pulpotomy ZnO/eugenol cement or calcium hydroxide was used as amputation material [26].
• The conclusion of this study is that of the three experimental groups, the teeth treated by Electrosurgery Pulpotomy with either Mechanical or Electrosurgical Coronal Pulp Removal exhibited less histopathological reaction than the teeth treated by Formocresol Pulpotomy [27].
