Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy in cariously exposed vital immature first permanent molars using calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate-based material (Biodentine ™).~Participants and methods:~This study was carried out on patients attending an outpatient clinic in Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department - Faculty of Dentistry - Cairo University - Egypt. A total of thirty-five patients had thirty-eight vital immature first permanent molar with deep caries, who satisfied the eligibility criteria and completed the follow-up period. Their age ranged between six years to nine years old with a mean age of 7.5+/-1 years. All teeth were mandibular. In this study, pulpotomy was performed to preserve the vitality and function of the remaining radicular pulp tissue, followed by applying one of the investigated pulp capping materials.
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomy in cariously exposed vital immature first permanent molars using calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate-based material (Biodentine ™). After a 12 months postoperative period, Biodentine ™ proved very useful as a successful pulpotomy agent in young permanent teeth.
