Clinical Trial Examines Histological Response to Pulpotomy with WMTA and NaOCl Gel in Primary Molars

Posted: December 28, 2024
A groundbreaking clinical trial evaluated the histological response of pulpotomy in primary molars using white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) mixed with 2.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) gel. The study found that adding NaOCl gel to WMTA enhanced odontoblastic integrity, although the WMTA mixed with distilled water group showed better outcomes in dentin bridge formation and pulp calcification. The in-vitro evaluation revealed that the NaOCl gel initially altered the surface morphology of WMTA but became similar after 28 days. The study underlines the significance of exploring innovative additives to improve the properties of dental materials for enhanced clinical outcomes in pediatric dentistry.
