The study clinically and radiographically evaluated the long-term success rate of pulpotomy treatment in pulp-exposed primary molars. Five clinicians participated in this study and four glutaraldehyde preparations included 2% buffered, 2% unbuffered, 5% buffered, and 5% unbuffered glutaraldehyde solutions were used. There were 201 children, 108 boys and 93 girls, ranging in age from 4 to 7 years with 258 primary molars treated. After 36 months, 150 teeth with complete clinical records and radiographs were available for evaluation. The treatment of 98% of the patients was clinically successful, but when evaluated radiographically the overall success rate was 78.7%. The group treated with 5% buffered glutaraldehyde showed the highest success rate (87.5%) and group treated with the 5% unbuffered solution the lowest (74.1%), but no significant difference was found among the four groups. Canal obliteration was noted in 22 teeth successfully treated. Four of the teeth that were not successfully treated had canal obliteration before other pathoses became evident. The relative high failure rate in this long-term follow-up indicated that clinicians should be cautious before extensively using glutaraldehyde as a pulpotomy agent.
