ABSTRACT
It Is A Dental Disaster For Child To Lose His Primary Teeth Before The Age Of Normal Exfoliation. There Is No Better Replacement Than The Natural Tooth When It Is Rendered Free Of Infection.
Objectives: This Study Was Performed To: 1) Evaluate The Clinical And Radiographic Effect Of 3Mix Compared To 15 Concentration Of Buckley�s Formula Of Formocresol As A Pulpotomy Agent In Non-vital Primary Molars. 2) Assess Their Antibacterial Effect Of 3Mix And 15 Concentration Of Buckley�s Formula Of Formocresol.
Materials and Methods: In This Clinical Trial, Non-vital Pulpotomy Was Performed On 60 Primary Mandibular Molars Out Of 30 Children Aged Four To Seven Years. The Teeth Were Randomly Divided Into Two Groups According To The Material Used With 30 Teeth In Each Group. Group I, The Teeth Were Treated In One Visit Using 3 Mix. Group II, The Teeth Were Treated In Two Visits Using 15 Formocresol. All The Teeth Were Sealed With Glass Ionomer Cement Then Finally Restored With Stainless-steel Crowns. Clinical And Radiographic Evaluation Was Carried Out At Three, Six, And Nine Months Intervals. The Antibacterial Effect Of 3 Mix And 15 Formocresol Against Escherichia Coli And Staphylococcus Aureus Were Determined By Agar Diffusion Method.
�
Results:�The Overall Clinical Success Rate Was 96.2% In 3Mix Group Compared To 85.1% In Formocresol Group. While, Radiographic Success Rate Was 85.1% And 77.7% In Both Groups Respectively. No Statistically Significant Differences Were Found Between The Two Groups Clinically Or Radiographically. The Antibacterial Results Showed That 3Mix Presented The Largest Inhibitory Zones Against Escherichia Coli And Staphylococcus Aureus Compared To 15 Formocresol With Statistically Significant Difference Between The Two Tested Materials.
Conclusions:�The Triantibiotic Paste (3Mix) Is A Promising Material In Fulfilling Its Role In The Treatment Of Non-vital Primary Molars Through Non-instrumental Endodontic Treatment.
