A five-year comparative study of calcium hydroxide-glutaraldehyde pulpotomies versus calcium hydroxide pulpotomies in young permanent molars.

Twenty children with twenty cariously exposed first permanent molars treated with either calcium hydroxide-glutaraldehyde or calcium hydroxide pulpotomies, were followed up clinically and radiographically for a period of five years. Overall success rates obtained at the end of the follow up period were higher with calcium hydroxide-glutaraldehyde pulpotomies (100%) than with calcium hydroxide pulpotomies (80%).
