Similar Outcomes of Vital Pulp Therapy Using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate or Biodentine™

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of White MTA (MTA, Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) and Biodentine™ in pulp capping of cariously exposed mature permanent teeth. The investigator performed a prospective longitudinal randomized controlled study utilizing vital permanent mature teeth with deep caries. Patients will be divided randomly into Biodentine™ and MTA groups; Teeth will be assessed clinically and radiographically prior to the procedure. Caries will be excavated under local anesthesia, hemostasis is achieved after pulp exposure using NaOCl and will be capped with Biodentine™ or MTA. Clinical and radiographical follow-up will be performed by a blinded calibrated evaluator after six months and one year, and yearly after.
