Abstract

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) can be used to promote healing vital pulpotomies as an antibacterial agent. The aim of the present study was to histologically analyze the pulpal response of human primary teeth pulp following calcium hydroxide (CH) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomies with and without 5 % NaOCl.
