Information about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: None 7. Overview of the data (abstract): There is currently a lack of clinical examination into the use of OXY as a hemostatic adjunct in a pulpotomy procedure with MTA. It is not known if OXY reduces the success of an MTA pulpotomy compared to FS. The main research question in this present study asks whether MTA pulpotomies pretreated with OXY are still more successful compared to FS pulpotomies. The data has been published in an article titled " An Oxymetazoline-based Hemostatic Solution Used with MTA for Pulpal Therapy: A Retrospective Study". The data in this record was collected from patient chart review and supports the figures in the published manuscript. -------------------------- SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION -------------------------- 1.

File List A. Filename: DRUM-Jones-OXY-MTA.csv Short description: The file contains clinical chart data from a non-blinded reviewer and radiographic assessment from a blinded reviewer. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, patient data (n=75) was used to assess radiographic and clinical signs and symptoms of pathosis in primary molars receiving a pulpotomy and stainless-steel crown. Pulpotomies treated with FS (Group 1) were compared to those treated MTA with OXY induced hemostasis (Group 2). Radiographic assessment was performed by a blinded reviewer. Cox proportional hazards regression analyzed the effects of patient and practice level covariates on radiographic and clinical pathosis. Restricted mean survival times (RMST) were calculated as the area under Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The variables case #, age, and gender have been removed from this dataset as patients were not consented for sharing of demographic data.
