Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Adults aged 18 years or older with mature permanent teeth and carious pulp exposure
In the high-risk-study-excluded sensitivity meta-regression, longer follow-up was associated with lower success.

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Adults (18-45 y) with mature permanent molars, carious exposure and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
Restricting the lateral extent of partial pulpotomy gives success equivalent to more extensive amputation (97.6% vs 97.5%, p>0.05; 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
Immediate permanent restoration was associated with a pooled success rate of 89.9%.

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) · Adults (>=18 y) with mature permanent teeth and deep carious pulp exposure
Immediate permanent restoration after partial pulpotomy is associated with much higher success than delayed restoration (89.9% immediate vs 23.2% beyond 14 days; ungraded).

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Human permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis due to carious pulp exposure
Among 6 observational studies, pooled pulpotomy success was 92.6 per 100 (95% CI 0.86-0.96), very low certainty.
