Systematic review reveals pulp-capping materials may improve vitality in deep carious lesions, suggesting benefits over dentine bonding agents.

Pulp‐capping materials notably improved pulp vitality compared to dentine bonding agents in deep carious lesions.
Moderate‐confidence evidence showed Biodentine and glass ionomer cement outperformed the dentine bonding agent in preserving pulp health.
This systematic review included sixteen randomised controlled trials assessing indirect pulp capping techniques.
Findings support the effectiveness of selected biomaterials, highlighting the need for high‐quality evidence in dental guidelines.

BaHammam et al. (2025) studied this question.
