Formocresol is applied to the pulpotomy site on a cotton wool pledget. Any excess material should be blotted off the pledget prior to application.
Traditionally, a 5-min application time has been recommended; however, contact times of only a few seconds are probably equally effective.
It is prudent to limit both dose and contact time. Formocresol should only be applied to the pulpotomy site after haemostasis has been obtained.
It should never be applied to bleeding tissue.
