Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and histological responses of human pulps to two medicaments
acting synergisticly in a vital pulpotomy procedure. The drugs to be used are metacresol acetate (Cresatin) and calcium hydroxide (Pulpdent). Both drugs have been used
independently in pulpotomy treatment and their effects
have been well documented.
Calcium hydroxide has long been known to stimulate
the healing of the pulp, and to effect the formation of
a reparative dentin bridge over the exposed area. The
reported rates of success of this treatment has not always
