Biodentine®, Autism, pulpotomy, pulp vitality, tertiary dentinAbstract
Biodentine ® is a new bioceramic material with excellent mechanical and bioactivity properties, which can be used as substitute for both the coronal and root dentin. It has a positive effect on the pulp’s vitality stimulating cells of the pulp to form tertiary dentin; it can be used directly over the teeth with pulp exposures. This article is a description of a pulpotomy on a female patient of 11 years old, diagnosed with autism. The pulp chamber is filled with Biodentine ®, and checked each month for a period of three months, with final control at 12 months. The cement filler was prepared as a base to replace the dentin and resin composite was placed to replace the enamel layer.
