Aim: To compare the outcome of partial pulpotomy using two cements, ProRoot MTA (Dentsply, Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA) and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France), in permanent teeth of 6- to 18-year-old patients with signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis. Furthermore, the frequencies of perceptible grey discoloration caused by the cements were compared.
Methodology: Sixty-nine permanent first molars with signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis, from 69 patients, were included.
Introduction: This study aimed to compare the success rates of direct pulp capping (DPC) by using either ProRoot Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or Biodentine in the cariously exposed permanent teeth of 6- to 18-year-old patients. Gray discoloration was also evaluated.
Methods: Fifty-nine cariously exposed permanent teeth, including teeth with diagnosis of normal pulp, reversible pulpitis, or irreversible pulpitis, early periapical involvement, and exposure size of up to 2.
