Aim: This clinical trial aimed to compare the clinical success of coronal pulpotomy and indirect pulp capping (IPC) in managing symptomatic deep proximal caries in molars with moderate pulpitis over a 12-month period. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 vital mature permanent molars with moderate pulpitis were randomly allocated to the IPC (n = 54) or coronal pulpotomy group (n = 54). Dycal and Biodentine were used as pulp-capping materials, followed by composite restoration. The absence of periapical infection and asymptomatic teeth that positively responded to the cold pulp sensitivity test (only in IPC) was considered posttreatment success at 12 months. Data from the study were analyzed using the Chi-square test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between preoperative symptoms and the cold pulp sensibility test response (P = 0.000), indicating an association between symptoms and pulp sensibility. The average remaining dentine thickness (RDT) value was 0.48 ± 0.5 mm, with no statistically significant difference found between the location of caries and RDT (P = 0.084, P > 0.05). Compared to the IPC group, the pulpotomy group had a greater number of patients at 12 months after treatment that required no intervention. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the mean survival duration for pulpotomy was 48 weeks, and for IPC, it was 42.3 ± 2.35 weeks. Conclusion: Coronal pulpotomy with Biodentine proved more effective in reducing symptoms, achieving radiographic success, and ensuring tooth survival compared to IPC with calcium hydroxide.
