Formocresol is a mixture consisting of formalin, cresol and glycerine used in dentistry. It is used for vital pulpotomy of primary teeth and as a temporary intracanal medicament during root canal therapy. Buckley’s solution is a 20% form of formocresol, diluted with glycerine and distilled water.
Formocresol has two major actions within the pulp. It kills bacteria, making it bactericidal, but it also fixes the pulp material, making it inert.
