Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a RCT that will compare the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomies on primary molars between the traditional technique (Formocresol/ZOE) and the new technique with Biodentine. 180 pulpotomies (90 in each group) will be followed for a period of 12 months.
