Background: Different materials were used in the treatment of deeply decayed vital teeth. For many years, the gold standard for indirect pulp capping procedures was Calcium hydroxide. Nevertheless, the disadvantages reported with its use has led to its replacement with other materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate. Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to compare the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide (CH) in indirect pulp treatment of permanent teeth. Methods: Detailed search on PubMed, Web of science, Cochrane Library, Google and Ebsco databases was performed. Studies meeting the criteria for inclusion were accepted, and necessary information was independently extracted by 2 authors by means of a standardized form. Evaluation was done for the success rate and dentin bridge formation. Results: The inclusion criteria were met in three studies that were processed for data extraction and qualitative assessment. Conclusions: Due to presence of high risk of bias in the included studies, there is no conclusive evidence on the superiority of one material over the other.
