Objective: Compare Biodentine, CEM cement and MTA biomaterials in pulpotomy procedures on immature permanent teeth. Method: Systematic review following PRISMA 2020 methodology. A search was conducted in the EBSCO, PubMed, Elsevier and Cochrane Library databases, including 10 studies that evaluated the clinical and radiographic efficacy of biomaterials. Results: All three materials showed success rates of over 85% in preserving pulp vitality. MTA demonstrated greater dentin bridge formation capacity and antibacterial properties, but has a long setting time (3 hours) and is expensive. Biodentine showed similar results to MTA with significant advantages: short setting time (12 minutes), easy handling, and less tissue inflammation. CEM cement exhibited antibacterial properties and calcium ion release capacity, although with less mineralised tissue formation compared to MTA and Biodentine. Conclusion: All three biomaterials are viable for pulpotomy in immature permanent teeth.
