The purpose of this multisite, multioperator, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the 6-month outcomes of diluted formocresol (DFC) compared to gray mineral trioxide aggregate (GMTA) as pulpotomy medicament.
Determined by a power analysis, 252 molars of 152 children were recruited. The teeth were randomly assigned to receive GMTA or DFC. At the 6-month follow-up, 118 children with 203 treated teeth were evaluated.
Four blinded and calibrated evaluators scored each radiograph for pathologies. Clinical success was similar for DFC (97%) and GMTA (100%), (P<.09). Radiographic success differed significantly (P<.04) for DFC (86%) and GMTA (95%). Pulp canal obliteration was radiographically observed in 25% of the DFC group and in 37% of the GMTA group (P=.07). Dentin bridging was observed in 22% of the GMTA group but was not found in the DFC group (P<.01).
Teeth treated with GMTA showed more favorable radiographic outcomes than DFC at 6 months post-treatment.
本多中心、多操作者、前瞻性、随机对照临床试验的目的是评估与灰色三氧化矿物凝聚体(GMTA)相比,稀释甲酚醛(DFC)作为活髓切断术药物的6个月疗效。
通过功效分析确定,招募了152名儿童的252颗磨牙。这些牙齿被随机分配接受GMTA或DFC治疗。在6个月的随访中,对118名接受治疗的203颗牙齿的儿童进行了评估。
四位经过盲法校准的评估者对每张X线片的病变情况进行评分。DFC组(97%)和GMTA组(100%)的临床成功率相似(P<0.09)。DFC组(86%)和GMTA组(95%)的影像学成功率差异显著(P<0.04)。在DFC组中,25%的牙齿在影像学上观察到根管闭塞,在GMTA组中为37%(P=0.07)。在GMTA组中观察到22%的牙齿有牙本质桥形成,但在DFC组中未发现(P<0.01)。
治疗后6个月,用GMTA治疗的牙齿在影像学上的疗效比DFC更理想。
