Pulpotomy in primary teeth: Biodentine™ versus calcium hydroxide. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Pulpotomy is the total amputation of coronal pulp tissue and subsequent placement of a pulpotomy agent over the root canal orifices, followed by a coronal seal. The most suitable pulpotomy agent for successful treatment outcomes remains controversial.

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic success of calcium hydroxide (CH) and Biodentine (BD) in primary tooth pulpotomy at 6 and 12 months.
