Brief Summary

Preservation of the remaining vital portion of curiously exposed pulpal tissue in primary teeth, was one of the most frequent problems in pediatric dentistry. To solve this problem, pulpotomy therapy was introduced. Pulpotomy involves amputation of the coronal portion of affected or infected dental pulp, treatment of the remaining vital radicular pulp tissue surface should preserve the vitality and function of all or part of the remaining radicular portion of the pulp. Furthermore, it is an accepted procedure for treating both primary and permanent teeth with carious pulp exposures, several materials have been using for capping the radicular pulp after pulpotomy, these included formocresol, glutaraldehyde, ferric sulfate, and mineral trioxide aggregate. Allium sativum is one of the most extensively researched medical plants and its antibacterial activity depends on allicin produced by the enzymatic activity of allinase (a cysteine sulfoxide lyase). Allicin and other thiosulfinates are believed to be responsible for the range of therapeutic effects reported for garlic. Garlic extract has been reported to inhibit growth of various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Previous studies showed that A. sativum oil is used as new pulp medications and it offers a good healing potential, leaving the remaining pulp tissue healthy and functioning. MTA is a unique material with various advantages. It has been used successfully by pediatric dentists in a variety of clinical applications. However, its drawbacks especially its high cost, discoloration potential, difficulty in handling, and long setting time.
