Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic performance of Aloe vera gel versus formocresol pulpotomy of vital primary molars. Methodology: Pulpotomy procedure was performed in (42) primary molars which were randomly allocated to two equal groups. Aloe vera gel was used as a pulpotomy agent in group A, while formocresol was used as a pulpotomy agent in group B. All the pulpotomized teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of time interval using predetermined criteria. Results: The overall clinical success rate of Groups A and B at the end of the 12 months follow-up period was 36.8% and 81.3% respectively. The overall radiographic success rate of Groups A and B at the end of the 12 months follow-up period was 21.1% and 62.5% respectively. The overall success rate in group A and group B at the end of the 12 months follow-up period was 21.1% and 62.5% respectively showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: Formocresol was found to be superior when compared to Aloe vera gel as a pulpotomy agent in primary molars
