Formocresol and glutaraldehyde pulpotomies in primary teeth.
The purpose of the present study was to compare clinically and radiologically the effects of formocresol and glutaraldehyde as a medicament in pulpotomized carious exposed vital human primary molars. In formocresol group 90% clinical and radiological success rate and in glutaraldehyde group 100% clinical and radiological success rate was observed. Thus it was concluded that glutaraldehyde is better fixative and less toxic agent than formocresol.
