title: A clinical evaluation of root resorption by formocresol treatment in 120 cases of pulpotomy in permanent molars.
abstract: The effect of a formocresol pulpotomy of a 120 permanent molar showed external and internal resorption on distal root in lower molar, and palatal root in the upper molar. In this study 33.3% were male and 66.7% were female. The age distribution of patients was 16 to 20 years of age and 21 to 25 years of age. The rate of resorption for chronic pulpitis was more than acute pulpitis. The success of formocresol pulpotomy treatment at the end of the 10th year for acute pulpitis was 92.26% in contrast to 84% for chronic pulpitis.
