A new randomised controlled split-mouth study looked at which material works best as a pulp cap after pulpotomy in primary molars. Mineral trioxide aggregate is well established for this, but its handling requirements and cost have led dentists to look at other calcium silicate-based materials. The study compared ProRoot MTA with Biodentine and TotalFill BC RRM Putty. The researchers found important differences in application time.
Why it matters: Parents whose children need a pulpotomy on a baby molar may like to know how the materials used to cap the pulp compare.
Key words: teeth, pulpotomy in primary molars, mineral trioxide aggregate, calcium silicate-based materials, Biodentine, TotalFill BC RRM Putty, application time
