Abstract
Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) is a rich amelogenin and amelin biomaterial that has been demonstrated to induce a reparative process similar to normal odontogenesis when placed in contact with pulp tissue. However its effects in pulp capping on primary teeth has not been previously reported. THE AIM of the present case report is to present the favorable clinical and radiographic findings of a primary molar treated with direct pulp capping (DPC) and using EMD as capping material in a 6-year-old girl. After 12 months, there was no sign or symptom indicative of treatment failure, such as pain, gingival swelling, sinus tract, sensitivity to percussion or palpation, abnormal mobility, widening of periodontal space, internal or external root resorption, or supporting bone or furcal area radiolucencies.
