Pulpal tissue reaction to buffered glutaraldehyde

PMID: 1498043

Pulpal tissue changes following pulpotomies with 2% w/v buffered glutaraldehyde in primary teeth were observed. A 3 minute single application of 2% w/v buffered glutaraldehyde was able to produce effective surface fixation. Limited penetration of the medicament left the remaining pulp tissue unaffected. The zone of fixation did not proceed apically. With time, macrophages and fibroblasts appear apical to the zone of fixation indicating the onset of replacement resorption.

Aim: The present study is an attempt to compare and evaluate postoperative assessment of diode laser zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) pulpotomy and diode laser mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy procedures in children.
Materials and Methods: Forty carious primary molars indicated for pulpotomy within the age group of 4-9 years were selected and divided into two groups of 20 each using simple randomization, Group 1: Diode laser MTA and Group 2: Diode laser ZOE pulpotomy. The teeth were evaluated clinically for 1 year at 3, 6, and 12 months interval and radiologically for 6 and 12 months.
Results: Clinically and radiographically, 100% teeth treated with diode laser MTA and 94% treated with diode laser ZOE were considered successful after 12-month follow-up interval. No significant difference was seen between two groups.
Conclusion: Despite the success rate, the cost factor of diode laser and MTA could be the limiting factor in its judicious use in pulpotomy procedure.
