Comparative Evaluation of the Success of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Pulpotomy With Ferric Sulfate and Ankaferd in Primary Molar Teeth

Name

2018/08

Description

Considering the lack of data in the literature concerning the success of Er,Cr:YSGG laser in pulpotomy treatment of primary teeth, the present study aimed to compare this laser system with two different chemical hemostatic agents regarding its clinical and radiographic success.

Status

Completed

Treatment

Ferric Sulfate (Viskostat; Ultradent, Utah, USA)

Widely used in pulpotomy treatment of primary teeth, provides hemostasis through a chemical reaction with blood. The metal-protein complex, formed due to contact with blood, creates a mechanical plug; thus, hemostasis occurs without clot formation.

Arms:

Ferric Sulfate

Other names:

Viskostat

Ankaferd Blood Stopper (Ankaferd Blood Stopper, Ankaferd Ilaç Kozmetik A.S, Istanbul, Turkey)

Recently introduced to clinical practice as an alternative to FS, is a herbal hemostatic agent. It consists of a standardized mixture of Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Alpinia officinarum (galangal), Vitis vinifera (vine), Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) and Urtica dioica (nettle).

Er,Cr:YSGG laser (Waterlase MD, Biolase, USA)

Alternative technique introduced to clinical practice in recent years to provide hemostasis in vital pulp treatment is the usage of lasers in various wavelengths. Using lasers in pulpotomy provides many advantages such as tissue vaporization and coagulation, maintenance of a blood-free working field due to its property to close small blood vessels, minimal clot formation, and sterilization of the wound surface. Furthermore, laser systems were reported to induce cellular biostimulation. Er,Cr:YSGG lasers which belong to the Erbium laser family are the laser systems with the highest absorption rate by water, having a wavelength of 2780 nm. Besides, Erbium lasers manifest bactericidal effects.
