Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Vitapex on root canal therapy on deciduous teeth. Methods The Cochrane reviewer hand book was followed. The papers and documents on the clinical effectiveness of Vitapex on data bases were searched and collected by computer and hand-search, the Meta-analysis was also done on the findings with Revman 4.2 software. Results Eighteen among 292 papers were collected. The effectiveness of Vitapex in 0.5 and 1 year could be merged and was higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. The effectiveness of Vitapex in 2 year could not be combined, for significant heterogeneity was found. So only the descriptive analysis could be used. The 2 years’ efffectiveness had a trend which was superior to the control group. Conclusion For deciduous teeth, Vitapex paste is an excellent filling material.

Key words: Vitapex, deciduous teeth, root canal therapy, effectiveness, Meta-analysis
