title: [Clinical evaluation of glutaldehyde resinifying therapy on pulp diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate clinically the glutadehyde resinifying therapy(GR) on pulp diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 270 teeth with pulp diseases were divided into GR and formaldehyde resinifying therapy(FR) groups. The latter served as a control. Immediate post-operation reactions, short-term (0.5-1 year) and long-term (2-4 years) results were compared between the two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ratio of post-operation pain for GR group was 10.2%, while 19.8% for FR group. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05, by chi 2 test). The short-term successful rates were 85.4% and 84.9% for GR and FR groups, respectively, whilst the long-term rates were 92.0% and 90.8%, respectively, there were no significant differences between the two groups statistically.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  GR could obtain similar clinical results as FR, and has an advantage of lower rate of post-operation pain compared with FR.
