Aim\ud \ud In this clinical case an indirect pulp capping was performed, using MTA, at 36 cariously damaged.\ud \ud Methodology\ud \ud A 7 years old girl, affected by DEA presented a decayed 36 whose radicular formation was still incomplete. After cleaning the carious cavity, MTA was placed as intermediate medication and a temporary filling material was used over MTA. The clinical procedure can be considered safe and simple.\ud \ud Results and conclusions\ud \ud Because of some problems of hers, this young girl returned after 6 months. The formation of hard tissue was observed and the rx control resulted in a clear evidence of root formation. We performed the final restoration of 36, using composite materials. At 6-months and at 7- years follow- up there aren???t clinical and radiographic signs of pulpar and radicular pathology. In conclusion, MTA seemed to be a material that can be used for the preservation of the pulp tissue vitality. Furthermore it prevented any leakage of the surface below it, even in cases where a lost integrity of the temporary filling material took place
