INTRODUCTION: The aim of this trial was to compare clinical and radiographic success rates of direct pulp capping (DPC) using a novel biomaterial called Calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in primary molar teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this randomized clinical trial 42 deciduous molars in 21 patients who had at least two teeth requiring DPC, were treated. The enrolled patients were
