After completing the pulpotomy procedures, the teeth received a stainless-steel crown. Clinical and radiographic successes/failures were blindly evaluated at 6 and 12 months, and Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the differences.  Results: At 6- and 12-month follow-ups, MTA and MPC had 100% clinical success rate. Radiographic success rates of MTA were 92.9% at 6 months and 89.3% at 12 months. While the rate for MPC group was 88.5% at both intervals. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.  Conclusion: The results of this investigation showed that treatment success rate with MPC was comparable to MTA pulpotomy. However, additional clinical research that considers long-term follow-ups is required to test the usefulness of MPC in the pulpotomy treatment of primary teeth.    }, keywords = {portland cement,mineral trioxide aggregate,Primary molars,Pulpotomy}, url = {https://jdmt.mums.ac.ir/article_9425.html}, eprint = {https://jdmt.mums.ac.ir/article_9425_af4aade8b8377f0e48aa0c42b8767f0b.pdf} }
