Abstrakt:	Purpose: This study's purpose was to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes of Copaifera langsdorffii oil resin (CLOR) as a pulpotomy medicament compared with one-minute full-strength formocresol (FC) and white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA). Methods: Determined by a power analysis, 152 primary molars of 64 four- to eight-year-olds with at least two asymptomatic molars requiring vital pulpotomies were recruited, randomly assigned to receive CLOR, WMTA, or FC, and restored with prefabricated metal crowns. At the 12-month follow-up, recordings of 59 children with 142 treated teeth were taken for clinical and radiographic symptoms. Clinical evaluation was performed by a blinded calibrated evaluator, whereas four evaluators scored each radiograph for pathologies based upon a modified scale previously proposed. The data were statistically analyzed. Results: At 12 months, 100 percent clinical success was observed with all groups. CLOR had the highest frequency of pathologic radiolucencies at 12 months. The radiographic success at 12 months was 76 percent, 90.91 percent, and 88.23 percent for the CLOR, FC, and WMTA groups, respectively (P=0.10). Conclusion: Copaifera langsdorffii oil resin can be suggested as a pulpotomy agent for primary teeth up to one year. However, further clinical studies with long-term follow-ups are needed to test its efficacy as a pulpotomy medicament.
