Partial pulpotomy with one additional day before permanent restoration vs Partial pulpotomy with one fewer day before permanent restoration: Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success)
- Population
- Adults aged 18 years or older with mature permanent teeth and carious pulp exposure
- Intervention
- Partial pulpotomy with one additional day before permanent restoration
- Comparison
- Partial pulpotomy with one fewer day before permanent restoration
- Outcome
- Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success)
Each additional day before permanent restoration was associated with a 0.088% decrease in success in meta-regression.

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
