Evaluation of Two Different Calcium Silicate Cements as a Treatment for Irreversible Pulpitis in Mature Molars

EndoCem, a premixed calcium silicate-based cement (Maruchi, Korea), is used as the pulp capping material in vital pulp therapy (VPT). After achieving hemostasis with sterile saline-soaked cotton pellets, EndoCem is applied directly over the exposed radicular pulp tissue. The standardized clinical procedure includes local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, caries removal, access cavity preparation, coronal pulp removal, and placement of EndoCem, followed by immediate restoration with FUJI II ensure a coronal seal.

Biodentine, a tricalcium silicate-based cement (Septodont, France), is used as the pulp capping material in vital pulp therapy (VPT). After achieving hemostasis with sterile saline-soaked cotton pellets, Biodentine is applied directly over the exposed radicular pulp tissue. The standardized clinical procedure includes local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, caries removal, access cavity preparation, coronal pulp removal, and placement of Biodentine, followed by immediate restoration with FUJI II to ensure a coronal seal.
