This exploratory study compared the short-term combined clinical and radiographic success of the two formulations in permanent molars treated with full pulpotomy for a recorded diagnosis of reversible pulpitis, and the association between cavity surface group and outcome. Methods: In this single-center, non-randomized observational cohort study with material allocation concealed during outcome assessment, treatment records (June\u2013December 2025; patients aged 6\u201315 years) were screened, and eligible patients were recalled for standardized assessment (June\u2013July 2026). Of 82 eligible patients, 60 (30 per group) completed recall; completion was 63.8% with powder\u2013liquid MTA and 85.7% with putty. Two examiners assessed radiographs independently. The primary outcome was combined clinical and radiographic success; missing outcomes were examined in a sensitivity analysis. Results: Median follow-up was 11 months. Among recalled patients, combined success was 90.0% (27\/30) with powder\u2013liquid MTA and 93.3% (28\/30) with putty (difference 3.3 percentage points; 95% CI, \u221212.7 to 19.7; p = 1.000). Imputing all missing outcomes as failures gave 57.4% and 80.0%, respectively. Success was 100% in single-surface and 88.6% in multi-surface cavities (p = 0.311). Conclusions: In this small, single-center, non-randomized cohort, both formulations showed high short-term success among patients who completed recall. Wide confidence intervals and differential loss to follow-up preclude conclusions about comparative effectiveness or equivalence; larger randomized trials with longer follow-up are required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15197563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T12:09:25Z","timestamp":1790683765000},"page":"7563","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Powder\u2013Liquid Versus Premixed Putty MTA from the Same Manufacturer for Full Pulpotomy in Permanent Molars: A Short-Term Non-Randomized Observational Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-8557-2946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enes","family":"Bardak\u00e7\u0131","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Harran University, \u015eanl\u0131urfa 63300, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2753-2096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet Ali","family":"Arslanpar\u00e7as\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Prosthetics Technology Program, Vocational School of Health Services, Harran University, \u015eanl\u0131urfa 63300, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1932","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joen.2014.08.010","article-title":"Correlation between clinical and histologic pulp diagnoses","volume":"40","author":"Ricucci","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
