This systematic review comparing the performance of biodentine in relation to the MTA when used in the pulpotomy technique in primary teeth. Although MTA is considered the gold standard material for pulpotomy procedures, it has some drawbacks (poor handling, staining potential, long setting time); thus, it is important to evaluate the clinical performance of other calcium silicate-based cements like biodentine that overcome this drawbacks.
