| Abstrakt: | Objective: This clinical study was aimed to investigate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of NeoPutty MTA ® (Nusmile), a novel mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy material, in primary teeth of children aged 4-6 years. Methods: An in vivo study was done in children aged 4-6 years old. A total of 50 primary second molar teeth were included in the study, with 25 of them undergoing treatment with formocresol (FC) and 25 receiving treatment with NeoPutty MTA ® . The subjects were divided into two groups for treatment: the first group received a treatment involving a 1:5 dilution of Buckley's FC. The second group, however, underwent treatment with NeoPutty MTA ® . This study employs a meticulous approach to evaluate the impact of different treatments on a significant number of molar teeth, using FC and NeoPutty MTA ® as the respective treatment methods. The demographics of the subject pool are well-documented, comprising a balance of male and female participants. The technique employed for pulp removal and the subsequent management of bleeding are outlined, underscoring the thoroughness of the process. Results: At 12 months, the NeoPutty MTA ® pulpotomy group showed a significantly higher success rate clinically (96%) compared to the FC group (72%) ( P < 0.05), but radiographically although NeoPutty MTA ® was better (92%) than FC (82%), it was not statistically significant. NeoPutty ® -treated teeth exhibited no signs of pain or discomfort and demonstrated better pulp vitality compared to the FC group. Conclusion: NeoPutty MTA ® demonstrated superior clinical success rates and better radiographic outcomes compared to traditional FC pulpotomy.
