Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of pulpotomy and pulpectomy on deciduous molars with deep caries. METHODS: A total of 124 children (192 molars) with deep caries treated from February 2014 to February 2015 were selected. They each had at least one molar with deep caries. MTA pulpotomy (101 molars) and Vitapex pulpectomy (91 molars) as well as prefabricated metal crown repair were conducted. The patients were followed up for 18 months after surgery, and the therapeutic effects were evaluated through clinical and X-ray examinations. RESULTS: =4.645, P=0.031). CONCLUSION: The postoperative outcomes of pulpotomy are superior to those of pulpectomy.
