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).
