2. Tooth that has a positive response to sensibility test (cold test)
3. Tooth that is restorable with resin composite or stainless steel crown
4. Absence of clinical swelling, pus exudate/ fistula of soft and periodontal tissues
5. Absence of abnormal tooth mobility
Intra-operative clinical inclusion criteria
1. After complete caries removal, exposure of pulpal tissue occurs.
2. Size of pulp exposure is larger than 1 mm. but not larger than 5 mm. in diameter, as measured by a sterilized preformed wire.
3. Pulp tissue appears vital judging from color and amount of bleeding.
4. Bleeding from pulp exposure site can be controlled within 10 minutes.

Paralleled periapical radiograph
1. No prominent radiolucency at the furcation or periapical regions
2. Absence of internal and/or pathologic external root resorption
3. Absence of calcification/ or pulp canal obliteration
Note: The presence of early periapical lesions, such as widened periodontal ligament (PDL) space or condensing osteitis was not considered an exclusion criteria for this study.
