RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically use of hydroxyapatite crystals and 2% glutaraldehyde as a pulpotomy agent. METHOD: Thirty deciduous molars were treated with pulpotomy using hydroxyapatite crystals and 2% glutaraldehyde. RESULTS: Clinical and radiographic findings were observed at three months and six months. The success rate was found to be 100% clinically and 80.33% radiographically in the hydroxyapatite crystals group and 100% clinically and radiographically in the glutaraldehyde group. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The results of this study revealed that hydroxyapatite crystals is a potential pulpotomy agent for deciduous molars.
