Formocresol is caustic and creates a severe tissue burn if allowed to touch the gingiva. 2. When the pellet is removed, the tissue appears brown, and no hemorrhage should be evident. 3. If an area of the pulp was not in contact with the medication, the procedure must be repeated for that tissue.
The formaldehyde component of formocresol is strongly bactericidal and reversibly inhibits many enzymes in the inflammatory process. Originally, the aim of using formocresol was to completely mummify (fix) all residual pulpal tissue and necrotic material within the root canal.
Composition The composition of Buckley‟s formocresol is 19% formaldehyde and 35% tricresol, 15% glycerin and 31% water base.10 Glycerine is added to prevent the polymerization of formaldehyde to para-formaldehyde.
In our study formocresol pulpotomy was carried out in 128 primary molar teeth with a limited amount of access opening, saving a bit of more tooth structure, which excludes the requirement of placement of a stainless steel crown (SSC). In 2 years follow-up period, no crown fracture was reported.
Eighty-two primary molars indicated for pulpotomy were included in the study. The molars included were divided into three groups by simple random sampling, and treatment was done with formocresol as control, comparing it with Aloe barbadensis gel and Allium sativum oil. Results.
