Formacresol is a mixture consisting of formalin, cresol and glycerine used in dentistry. [1] It is used for vital pulpotomy of primary teeth and as a temporary intracanal medicament during root canal therapy. Buckley's solution is a 20% form of formocresol, diluted with glycerine and distilled water. [2]
3 Μαΐ 2023 · The current paper aimed to review the properties of formocresol and concerns regarding its safety as a pulpotomy medicament for primary teeth.
A commercial solution containing 19% formaldehyde, 35% cresol in a glycerine/water vehicle (Buckley's formocresol, Cosby laboratories, Burbank, CA, USA), was later developed as a suitable medicament for the treatment of pulpally exposed primary teeth.
Formocresol was introduced to treat non-vital permanent teeth in the United States by Buckley in 1904. In 1930, Sweet introduced the formocresol pulpotomy technique. Formocresol has subsequently become a popular pulpotomy medicament for primary teeth. Initially, the technique involved five visits.
Formocresol has been used in dentistry since 100 years. The biologic approach to pediatric pulp therapy is either devitalization approach of formocresol pulptomy or pulpectomy. Formocresol was introduced to treat non-vital permanent teeth in the United States by Buckley in 1904. In 1930, Sweet introduced the formocresol pulpotomy
Formocresol has been used in dentistry for over 100 years, and for vital pulpotomy in primary teeth for over 80 years. Its efficacy has been extensively studied, with clinical success rates ranging from 70% to 100%, making it the standard against which newer techniques are compared.
A chemical compound containing 35% cresol and 19% formalin in aqueous glycerine. It has been used to fix and disinfect pulp tissue during a pulpotomy procedure for primary teeth; however, serious concerns have been raised over the potential toxicity and cariogenicity of formalin and its possible blood-borne spread to distant sites.
