Vital pulp therapy (VPT) aims to manage teeth with only part of the
compromised dental pulp without the extirpation of the entire healthy pulp tissue. It
targets at retaining deciduous teeth until their normal exfoliation. To date, very limited
studies have compared the treatment outcomes of indirect pulp therapy (IPT) and ferric
sulphate pulpotomy (FSP) carried out on deciduous molar(s) (DM). Thus, this
retrospective study aimed to determine, the clinical treatment outcomes of VPT
performed on paediatric DM at School of Dental Sciences, HUSM. Clinical records of
590 patients with 600 DM treated with IPT and FSP were reviewed. 342 DM underwent
IPT and 258 FSP. All patient records which had information about DM treated with
VPT, were included. Records of patients under 4 and above 8 years of age were
excluded, along with those records in which VPT was performed on teeth other than
DM. Association of treatment type (IPT/FSP), tooth type (1st or 2nd DM), arch location
(maxillary/mandibular) and number of carious surfaces involved (one or multiple) to
successful outcomes was analysed. Logistic regression analysis was used for statistical
analysis with significance level set at P < 0.05. A total number of 278 1st DM and 322
2nd DM underwent IPT and FSP. Based on arch location, 234 were maxillary DM and
366 were mandibular DM. According to carious surfaces involved, 363 DM had one
surface destroyed by caries and 237 DM had multiple surfaces destroyed. There was a
significant difference based on the type of treatment performed (P=0.036), i.e., the odds
of IPT being successful were two times more than those of FSP. Also, there was asignificant difference according to tooth type (P<0.05) and arch location (P=0.003), i.e.,
the odds of 2nd DM having successful outcomes were 4 times more than 1st DM.
Additionally, the odds of maxillary molars having successful outcomes were 3 times
more than when compared to their mandibular counterparts. However, there was no
significant difference in success rates based on carious surfaces involved (P=0.873). In
conclusion IPT showed a higher success rate than FSP, with 2nd DM having a better
overall prognosis than 1st DM. Maxillary DM had a better prognosis than their
mandibular counterparts, while comparing the two VPT. |
