This study compares the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of Biodentine and Calcium Hydroxide as indirect pulp capping materials in mature permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis. A total of 76 patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Outcomes were assessed over 12 weeks based on pain, periapical radiolucency, and PDL widening. The goal was to determine which material better preserves pulp vitality
