In this study, 120 primary molar teeth from healthy children aged between 5 and 9 and who apply to Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry will be subjected to pulpotomy treatments. After proper diagnosis of coronal pulpitis, the teeth will be assigned randomly to one of the 3 groups: 40 primary molars for formocresol (FC) pulpotomy treatments, 40 primary molars for ferric sulfate (FS) treatments and 40 primary molars for 0.5% hyaluronic acid gel (HA) pulpotomy treatments. The tooth decay will be removed, the pulp will be amputated from the chamber of the pulp with a sharp excavator and one of the medicament will be applied to the orifice of the root canals. The cavity will be sealed tight with zinc oxide cement, and the primary molars will be restored with a composite filling material or with a stainless steel crown (SSC). A single investigator will perform the procedure. The teeth will be followed clinically and radiographically at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th months.
