Periodontal changes following coronal/root perforation and formocresol pulpotomy.
A clinical case report is presented which describes the sequelae of an iatrogenic lateral crown/root perforation and a formocresol pulpotomy. The post-operative course of the initial therapy included significant hard and soft tissue destruction and eventual tooth loss. The possible implication of the role of formocresol is discussed.
