Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffects of folk medicinal plant extract Ankaferd Blood Stopper(®) in vital primary molar pulpotomy.
To compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of two vital pulpotomy agents: formocresol (FC) and Ankaferd Blood Stopper(®) (ABS), in primary molars during a 12-month follow-up period. ⋯ FC and ABS were found successful as pulp dressings in primary molars. ABS appears to be an alternative pulpotomy agent but periodical follow-ups must be considered to evaluate long term success rates.
