Abstract
Objective. The study of pathological signs observed in temporary molars that received pulpotomy treatment. Material and method. 79 intraoral x-ray of temporary molars that received pulpotomy treatment were evaluated. The patterns of internal and external root resorption and the presence of radiolucent lesions in the fork were studied. Results. The internal pathological root resorption was observed in 43% of the molars and pathologic external root resorption in 34.2% of the total sample. Radiolucent furcation lesions were present in 39.1% of deciduous molars. Conclusions. The most common radiographic manifestation was pathological internal root resorption. however, this radiographic failure can be considered as only a side effect, if it is not accompanied by clinical manifestations and does not compromise the function of the tooth until its physiological exfoliation.
