Abstract：AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of partial pulpotomy on young permanent incisors with mineral trioxide aggregate and dycal as pulp -capping. METHODS: 108 young permanent incisors from 106 patients were randomly divided into two groups and treated with MTA and Dycal respectively. Altogether teeth were filled with a layer of zinc oxide cement and zinc phosphate cement. Then the cavities were covered with light - cured composite. The teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically for a period of two years. RESULTS: The clinical success rate in the group of MTA and Dycal were 92.00% and 79.31 % respectively with statistical difference fo P < 0.05. CONCLUSION: MTA is an effective pulp capping agent in the partial pulpotomy for young permanent teeth with complicated crown fracture.
