Pediatric dentistry has always debated the benefits of vital pulp therapy. AIM: The current study was done to differentiate the histo-pathological findings of MTA versus grape seed extract in primary teeth undergoing pulpotomy as pulp dressing substances. Materials and Methods: According to the inclusion criteria, 16 primary teeth were selected in each group. Randomly and equally, the teeth were split into two groups: (MTA group) Group I, and (GSE group) Group II. After nine months, under a light microscope the teeth were evaluated and a clinical follow-up was conducted. Periapical radiographs were also taken at this time.
