Several medicines have been tested and used in the conservative pulp therapy of deciduous teeth, however, the formocresol has being the elected material in the pulpotomies, even not assisting the biocompatibility demands and promoting the fixation of the vital pulp tissue and not its repair. After Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) appearance as a material with physico-chemical properties that promotes the tissue repair, allied to other important properties, such as the antimicrobial action and the biocompatibility to the pulpal tissues, a new alternative material appeared for the dentistry. The aim of this study was to report the effect of MTA in a pulpotomy of deciduous molar, and its 1-year follow-up. The pulpotomy was made with MTA in the tooth 85 in a 5-year-old patient. The results obtained were quite favorable, demonstrating clinical and radiographic success, as well as absence of painful symptomatology reported by the patient. In spite of the little time of follow-up of the treated deciduous tooth, MTA has a great biological potential and could be an alternative material to be used in the pulpotomies of deciduous teeth.
