Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyMineral trioxide aggregate as a pulpotomy medicament: an evidence-based assessment.
The principles of evidence-based dentistry were used to compare mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), formocresol (FC), ferric sulphate (FS) and calcium hydroxide (CH) as primary molar pulpotomy medicaments. ⋯ Currently available evidence suggests MTA compared with FC, FS and CH as a pulpotomy medicament resulted in significantly higher clinical and radiographic successes in all time periods up to exfoliation.
