The study consisted a total of 25 children- 9 girls and 16 boys aged between 3-6 yrs. From the patients' medical records we determined that 35 primary molars were pulpotomied with BiodentineTM and 65 were pulpotomied with ferric sulfate (FS). Patients were recalled in the post-op 6th month for clinical examination and in the post-op 12th month for both clinical and radiographic examination. While a statistically significant difference was found between the factors of age, gender and pulpotomy agents (P<0,05), no statistically significant difference was found between the jaw and teeth types (P>0,05). As a result, recently developed tricalcium silicate based agents (BiodentineTM) can be used as an alternative to FS in pulpotomy. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ijdsr/5/4/5/ijdsr-5-4-5.pdf ferric sulfate Tricalcium silicate Biodentine^TM pulpotomy of the primary teeth general anesthesia early childhood caries
