Aim of the study: To compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as vital pulp therapy materials (pulpotomy) preserving the vitality of traumatized immature anterior permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: fifty vital traumatized immature anterior permanent teeth exposed with symptomatic /asymptomatic pulpitis were included in the study according to inclusion criteria and were equally divided in two groups. Included teeth were randomly assigned to either a control group (MTA 25 teeth) or a test group (Biodentine 25 teeth). After conducting pulpotomy and covering pulp stumps with the MTA and Biodentine, treated teeth received permanent restorations. Blinded clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed at different time intervals (base line immediate postoperative, 6, 12 and 18 months) according to clinical and radiographic criteria of success. Data were recorded and analyzed.
