Comparative Evaluation of the Treatment Outcomes of Pulpotomy in Primary Molars Using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and 3Mixtatin: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3Mixtatin and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for pulpotomy in primary teeth by assessment of pre- and postoperative clinical and radiographic data. Materials and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 50 primary molars from 48 healthy children aged 3-8 years were randomly allocated into two groups. Deep dentinal caries approaching pulp in primary teeth were treated by pulpotomy using MTA and 3Mixtatin. Over the intervening period, restoration was done using glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite, followed by stainless steel crown. Clinical and radiographic examinations were conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. The data were compared using Chi-squared test at a significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 39 patients were available for follow-up study. By the end of 12 months, the overall success rates were 95.5% in MTA and 91.3% in 3Mixtatin. No statistically significant difference was found among the outcomes of MTA and 3Mixtatin groups ( Conclusion: Radiographic and clinical outcomes in MTA and 3Mixtatin group in this study show 3Mixtatin as a suitable alternative for pulpotomy medicament in primary teeth.
