composite resins.[4‑6] The reduced filler content, enhanced flow capacity, and easy handling properties of flowable composites result in better sealing by forming a stress absorbing layer.[4,6,7] This stress absorbing layer reduces not only the polymerization shrinkage of the materials, but also the functional stress on the restored teeth.[1,8] However, some studies indicated that the liner or based materials, such as flowable composite or resin‑modified glass ionomer, not reduce the polymerization shrinkage.[9,10] On the contrary, these liners lead to more stresses and a possible adhesive failure. Hence, the benefit of the intermediate layer become disputable.[11] Pulp capping is a procedure which is performed for maintaining the vitality of the pulp when vital pulp is exposed or the remaining thin layer of dentin over a nearly exposed pulp during cavit
