Pulp Capping

Dr. Lustman asks us:
I have heard many pro´s and con's for pulp capping. I understand that the mainstream consensus is not pulp cap carious exposures but rather to start endo.

Small mechanical exposures that can be isolated and disinfected can be pulp capped. The most common materials used for pulp capping are Dycal, Vitrebond, MTA and bonded resins. What are other people doing with pulp capping? What is your failure or success rate? Any advice?
