In vitro study compares fracture resistance of MTA and Biodentine in pulpotomized teeth, suggesting varying restorative outcomes.
Background: Preserving the radicular pulp in traumatically or mechanically exposed teeth through coronal pulpotomy (CP) is an advantageous endodontic procedure. Purpose: This study compared the fracture resistance (FR) of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (BD) in pulpotomized maxillary premolars restored with different materials. Materials and Method: Value< 0.05). Results: .> 0.05). Conclusion: Both composite resins increased the strength of MTA-pulpotomized premolars, but this was not the case for BD. FR of amalgam restorations did not significantly differ from both composite resin restorations. However, none of the tested restorations was capable to recover the fracture strength completely.
