Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Adults (>=18 y) with mature permanent teeth, carious exposure and normal/reversibly inflamed pulp
At 1 year, partial pulpotomy and direct pulp capping (both calcium hydroxide) gave similarly low success in reversibly inflamed pulps (34.5% vs 31.8%; ungraded, single trial).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Adults aged 18 years or older with mature permanent teeth and carious pulp exposure
Partial pulpotomy with tri-calcium silicate cements (MTA/Biodentine) has a much higher success rate than with calcium hydroxide in adults (86.8% vs 34.3%; ungraded).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in immature permanent teeth
In immature teeth, the effect of MTA versus calcium hydroxide on success is very uncertain (OR 2.22, 95% CI 0.13-36.67; very low certainty).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in permanent teeth undergoing direct pulp capping
For direct pulp capping, MTA probably achieves higher clinical and radiographic success than calcium hydroxide (OR 3.10, 95% CI 1.66-5.79; moderate certainty).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in permanent teeth of mixed/unspecified root maturation
In mixed-maturation teeth, the effect of MTA versus calcium hydroxide on success is very uncertain (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.17-7.11; very low certainty).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in permanent teeth undergoing pulpotomy
For pulpotomy, whether MTA improves success over calcium hydroxide is uncertain (OR 2.36, 95% CI 0.47-11.75; low certainty; CI includes no effect).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in permanent teeth undergoing DPC or pulpotomy
Biodentine appeared to perform better than calcium hydroxide for success, but the evidence was not pooled (2 RCTs; ungraded).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in mature permanent teeth
In mature teeth, MTA probably achieves higher clinical and radiographic success than calcium hydroxide (OR 3.34, 95% CI 1.81-6.17; moderate certainty).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Patients with carious pulp exposure in permanent teeth undergoing DPC or pulpotomy
MTA achieved higher clinical and radiographic success than calcium hydroxide overall (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.96-4.49; low certainty), but this unadjusted estimate pools clinically heterogeneous DPC and pulpotomy studies.
