Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) vs Buffered glutaraldehyde
Outcome not reported · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth
1 finding from 1 review
Assessed pain, soft tissue, mobility, radiolucency, root resorption, pulp canal obliteration (Goyal 2016); no clinical/radiological failure outcome; pain, mobility, radiolucency, root resorption significantly favour MTA
