Abstract

Background:  Several medicaments have been used in pulpotomy procedures of primary teeth. The present study was conducted to compare MTA with biodentine as a restorative material in deciduous teeth.  Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Pedodontics. 20 ring molds of stainless steel having inner diameter of 2.1 cm and a height of 1.6 cm were manufactured. In group I specimens, the molds were filled to excess with MTA and in group II, with biodentine.  Results: Each group had 20 teeth sample. In group I, MTA was used and in group II, biodentine material was used. The mean solubility value of MTA at 1st day was 1.55, at 4th day was 1.64, at 12thday was 2.15, at 30th day was 2.57 and at 45th day was 2.60. Similarly in group II at 1st day was 1.89, at 4th day was 2.11, at 12thday was 2.80, at 30th day was 3.61 and at 45th day was 5.34. pH at 2 hours was 9.28 in group I and 8.98 in group II, at 12 hours was 9.26 in group I and 9.39 in group II, at 24 hours was 9.20 in group I and 9.64 in group II, at 7 days was 8.76 in group I and 8.27 in group II, at 28 days was 7.62 in group I and 7.78 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that both materials can be used in deciduous teeth. However, biodentine revealed higher solubility and pH as compared to MTA in deciduous teeth.
