Article Synopsis
- Carious pulp exposure in children's permanent molars is common, and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a promising material for pulp treatment.
- The study aimed to assess MTA's effectiveness as a direct pulp capping agent for young permanent teeth, involving 30 molars with pulp exposures treated with MTA.
- Results showed a 93% success rate at 24 months, with no pain reported and signs of vitality and root growth, indicating MTA is recommended for treating carious pulp exposure, especially in immature teeth.

Unlabelled: The aim of the present study was to compare, clinically and radiographically, the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to formocresol (FC) when used as medicaments in pulpotomized vital human primary molars.
Methods: The sample consisted of 120 primary molars, all teeth were treated with the same conventional pulpotomy technique. Sixty molars received FC and 60 received MTA throughout a random selection technique.
