ABSTRACT
En la presente investigación, 59 pulpotomías fueron realizadas en 23 pacientes entre las edades de 4 a 8 años, se utilizó el sulfato férrico como agente hemostático sobre la pulpa radicular remanente, y se realizaron controles clínicos y radiográficos postoperatorios al primer y al tercer mes. Todo ello con el objetivo de verificar el comportamiento clínico del medicamento y los efectos postoperatorios al tratamiento. Clínicamente, se obtuvo un éxito del 100% al no haber fallas clínicas evidentes, en cambio datos radiográficos revelaron un éxito del 93.22% (55 casos) debido a que en 4 casos (6.78%) se encontraron reabsorciones internas de magnitud leve; derivándose del éxito clínico y radiográfico un éxito global del 96.61%. Aunque los resultados de la investigación son prometedores, un estudio con mayor periodo de observación es requerido antes de dar datos concluyentes.
In the present investigation, 59 pulpotomies were performed in 23 patients between the ages of 4 to 8 years, ferric sulfate was used as a hemostatic agent on the remaining root pulp, and postoperative clinical and radiographic controls were performed at the first and third month. All this with the aim of verifying the clinical behavior of the drug and the postoperative effects of the treatment. Clinically, a 100% success was obtained as there were no obvious clinical failures, on the other hand radiographic data revealed a success of 93.22% (55 cases) because in 4 cases (6.78%) internal resorptions of slight magnitude were found; deriving from the clinical and radiographic success an overall success of 96.61%. Although the research results are promising, a study with a longer observation period is required before providing conclusive data.
