Pulpectomy versus pulpotomy in the treatment primary molars with chronic pulpitis

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes and survival of pulpectomy and pulpotomy in primary molars with chronic fibrous pulpitis. Significant differences in radiological failure rates were found among the groups of pulpectomy and pulpotomy (RR=2.00, 95% CI 1.30 to 3.07). No significant differences post-treatment survival were observed among the groups: 26.46±1.36 months and 25.76±1.47 (p=0.730).
