Untreated tooth decay in mature permanent dentition is a prevalent global issue, affecting 34.1% of people with 2.5 billion cases annually. Extensive decay often leads to irreversible pulpitis, characterized by pulp inflammation and pain. Pulpectomy, the standard treatment, involves complex procedures with potential complications. Modern endodontics favors minimally invasive treatment such as pulpotomy, which preserves pulp vitality. This study aims to compare the clinical as well as radiographic outcomes of different pulpotomy agents: Biodentine, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Bio-C repair, and Endosequence Bio-ceramic root repair material (BCRRM) in mature permanent molars.
