This study was conducted on 6–18 year-old patients, while a comparable study conducted on mature permanent teeth found success rates of 84.6% using MTA and 92.3% using Biodentine. [35] Calcium hydroxide has also been tested on its use in indirect pulp capping and was found to have a success rate of 77.6%, compared to a success rate of 85.9% ...
The success rate of the Herbst appliance, often considered to be a 'compliance-free' appliance, was found to be much higher than the Twin Block in one study, with a failure-to-complete rate of 12.9%.
