Background And Aims: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of partial pulpotomy treatments using different biocompatible materials which were Biodentine, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and calcium hydroxide (CH) in cariously exposed pulp tissue in immature permanent molars.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-four teeth of 50 patients, which had cariously pulp exposures were randomly divided into Biodentine, MTA, and CH groups for partial pulpotomy treatments and finally restored with stainless steel crowns at the same appointment. Clinical and radiographical success was evaluated by the absence of any clinical and radiographical signs and symptoms for 12 months.
