Materials and Methods: Ninetyprimary molars in 28 patients, with age range from 4 to 7 years were selected according to inclusion criteria, in each patient two primary molars at least were required for pulpotomy. The patients were allocated into three groups according to the type of pulp dressing material. The follow up periods were 1, 3 and 6 months for clinical evaluation. Periapical radiographs were taken at 3 and 6 months recall visits. Results: Results showed all cases in the three groups revealed clinical success at 1 month, 3 as well as 6 months follow up periods. Radiographic study displayed no statistically significant difference between the three groups after 3 months, while there was a statistically significant difference between the three groups after 6 months. Curcumin powder group revealed the highest prevalence of internal resorption followed by Curcumin gel group while Formocresol group revealed the lowest prevalence of internal resorption. However; the difference between survival of the three groups was no statistically significant. Conclusions: Turmeric (curcumin) powder and turmeric (curcumin) gel showed excellent clinical success, acceptable radiographic success and good survival, so the turmeric powder and turmeric gel may be promising biocompatible materials for dressing the radicular pulp after pulpotomy in primary teeth.
