Abstract Objective The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate efficiency of diode 808-nm (Picasso-AMD, USA) laser using power 1.5 W, continuous wave (CW), fiber diameter of 400 μm, non-initiated and in contact mode, tip angle set at 90°, beam divergence 16°, 2 s per an area with 1-mm diameter, power density 190.98 W/cm2, energy density 381.97 J/cm2, vertical and horizontal scanning movement on the exposure site, and laser irradiation combined with a resin-based tricalcium silicate material (TheraCal LC, Bisco, USA) in direct pulp capping in caries exposures of permanent teeth over a period of 6 months. Material and methods In this randomized clinical trial, a total of 20 anterior and posterior vital teeth without symptoms and radiographic changes of 14 patients between the age group of 15–35 years, of which randomly 10 teeth were considered, each for TheraCal LC, the exposed area was sealed with TheraCal paste and TheraCal combined with diode laser; the treated area was sealed with TheraCal paste after diode 808-nm laser irradiation. At the 1-, 3-, and 6-month recall examinations, the loss of vitality, spontaneous pain, reactions to thermal stimuli and percussion, and radiographic changes were considered failure. The samples were randomly divided using runs test. Measurements on the digitized radiograph were performed at the recalls. The data were analyzed by repeated measurements ANOVA using SPSS 25. Results Analysis had indicated that at the end of follow-ups, a statistically significant increase in dentin thickness with both groups (p value < 0.001) was found. Clinically, diode laser group has shown better results (p value < 0.001); however, radiographically, no significant difference was observed between groups (p value = 0.56). In both groups, the highest thickness of dentin formed was at the first month; 0.40 mm ± 0.19 mm (p value < 0.001). Conclusion Diode laser 808 nm under proper parameters combined with TheraCal LC can be recommended for direct pulp therapy in caries exposure of permanent teeth.
