Objective: To compare the clinical and radiographic success rate between PE and PO in temporal teeth. Methodology: Quasi-experimental study. All patients with a diagnosis of pulp therapy were included and were treated between August 2013 and September 2014 at the Odontopediatrics Clinic of the Faculty of Stomatology of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (UASLP). A total of 107 subjects (to the 256 dental organs of the 158 patients (128 PE and 128 PO) were treated according to the rules of the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry. Clinical and radiographic success was evaluated at 7, 15, 30, 90, 180 and 360 days post-treatment using the Zurn-Seale scale Success rates were compared with logistic regression adjusted for sex and age. Results: The clinical success rate for pulpotomy (91.5%) and pulpectomy (P <0.05) and pulpotomy (87.5%) and pulpotomy success (81.4%) and pulpectomy (83.3%). After 360 days, there was no significant difference between pulpectomy and pulpotomy, clinically OR = 1.54 (0.44-5.40) p = 0.49 and Radiographically OR = 0.87 (0.32-2.37) p = 0.79. Discussion: Both pulp therapies are suitable for temporary teeth with a diagnosis of pulpal disease, since according to the results obtained no difference between the two treatments is observed.
