Background:
Calcium silicate-based materials have become widely used in recent years due to their positive effect on pulp cells, which stimulate tertiary dentin formation.
Aim:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically the performance of MTA and Biodentine as pulp-dressing materials following pulpotomy in primary molars at 24-month follow-up.
Design:
Molars from patients aged 4-9 years scheduled for pulpotomy were treated with either MTA or Biodentine followed by a stainless-steel crown. These molars were clinically and radiographically followed up at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Statistical analysis was performed to detect differences between the two groups.
Results:
A total of 84 pulpotomies were performed obtaining a total success rate of 99.4 and 97.2% for Biodentine and MTA, respectively, at 24 months, showing no statistically significant differences between the two groups.
Conclusion:
24-month follow-up showed that Biodentine and MTA have similar effectiveness.
