Aim.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy on primary molars performed by dental students compared to that performed by an expert operator.

Methods.

The study was conducted on 142 second primary molars in 102 children.

The patients were randomly selected from the available records.

The test group (treated by dental students) included 51 subjects (28 males and 23 females, mean age: 7.2±1) and the control group included 51 children (29 males and 22 females, mean age: 7.4±1.2 years).

After pulpotomy, a clinical and radiographic evaluation after 12 months was performed.

Chi-square test and odds ratio were calculated and significance level was set at p<0.05.

Results.

The success rate was significantly lower, 81.6% (p<0.05), in the test group than in the control group (93%).

The test group showed less clinical and radiographic success (86% and 80%, resp.) compared to the control group (97.2% for clinical success and 93% for radiographic success).

Conclusions.

Pulpotomy with MTA is an effective method that ensures a good percentage of success.

The clinical experience of the operator is a contributing factor.
