Relationship between formocresol pulpotomies on primary teeth and enamel defects on their permanent successors.
Twenty-five permanent premolars were evaluated for enamel defects. The primary molars that they succeeded had been successfully treated with a formocresol pulpotomy. A relationship between the enamel defects and the pulpotomy procedures has been found.
