Clinical failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth
It is very uncertain whether mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) changes clinical failure compared with ferric sulphate (FS) (very low certainty).

Radiological failure · Children with extensive decay involving the dental pulp in primary teeth
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) showed no clear difference in radiological failure compared with ferric sulphate (FS) (low certainty).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Immature (young) permanent teeth with open apex and vital pulp exposed to dental caries or trauma, in children aged 6-14 years
A single RCT found no difference in pulpotomy success between MTA and platelet-rich fibrin (both 100% through 24 months; not pooled; ungraded).
