Clinical and Radiographic Assessment of Neo Putty MTA Versus Formocresol Used in Vital Pulpotomy of Mandibular Primary Molars
Sponsor: October University for Modern Sciences and Arts
Summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of NeoPutty MTA compared to formocresol in vital pulpotomy of mandibular primary molars in children aged 4 to 9 years. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups (1:1) to receive pulpotomy using either NeoPutty MTA or formocresol, followed by restoration with stainless steel crowns. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow-up visits.

Interventions
NeoPutty MTA
NeoPutty MTA (NuSmile) will be placed directly over the radicular pulp stumps after hemostasis, then the tooth will be sealed with resin-modified glass ionomer cement and restored with stainless steel crown.
Formocresol
A sterile cotton pellet lightly moistened with a 1:5 dilution of Buckley's formocresol will be placed against the pulp stumps for 3-5 minutes, then removed. Reinforced zinc oxide eugenol will be placed, followed by glass ionomer cement and stainless steel crown restoration.
