Recently, tissue economy is considered as one of today’s key preoccupations. The preservation of pulp vitality falls within this context and must be attempted, especially in the case where the tooth is intended to serve as abutments of fixed restauration. For this reason, direct pulp capping, previously contraindicated under a fixed prosthesis, is now recommended and possible thanks to the recent appearance on the market of new biomaterials, in particular Biodentine. It is a bioactive cement with dentin-like mechanical properties that allows it to withstand contraction forces underneath direct or indirect restorations.
