Abstract

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.
