The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of Ca(OH)(2) pulpotomies, to investigate the incidence of internal resorption following pulpotomy, and to investigate the relationship between internal resorption and physiological root resorption.
Pulpotomies were performed in 84 primary molars. Teeth were grouped according to type of exposure (mechanical or carious) and according to whether or not physiological root resorption has started. All teeth were followed for 12 months.
Teeth with larger-than-pinpoint carious exposure had the lowest success rate (65.5%). Internal resorption accounted for 15 out of 17 failures (88.2%). There was no significant difference in the rate of internal resorption between teeth with and without physiological root resorption (19.6% and 15.8%, respectively; P > .05).
The greater the area of carious exposure, the lower the success rate in pulpotomies. Internal resorption was the main reason for failure; however, internal resorption was not affected by physiological root resorption.
本研究旨在分析氢氧化钙活髓切断术的治疗效果,调查活髓切断术后发生内吸收的发生率,并研究内吸收与生理性牙根吸收之间的关系。
对84颗乳磨牙实施活髓切断术。根据暴露类型(机械性或龋源性)以及生理性牙根吸收是否开始对牙齿进行分组。所有牙齿均随访12个月。
龋源性暴露大于针尖大小的牙齿成功率最低(65.5%)。17例失败病例中有15例(88.2%)是由内吸收导致的。有生理性牙根吸收和无生理性牙根吸收的牙齿内吸收发生率无显著差异(分别为19.6%和15.8%;P>.05)。
龋源性暴露面积越大,活髓切断术的成功率越低。内吸收是失败的主要原因;然而,内吸收不受生理性牙根吸收的影响。
