The aim of this study is to report a clinical case of lesion sterilization and tissue repair in primary molar, withfollow-up until the eruption of the permanent successor. A 6-year-old male patient came to the Pediatric DentistryClinic at Faculdade Sao Leopoldo Mandic in Campinas-SP, with his mother, complaining of “caries in severalteeth”. On clinical examination, it was found that tooth 85 had a severe carious lesion with pulp involvementand fistula. Radiographically, radiolucency was observed in the furcation region. It was then decided to performlesion sterilization and tissue repair of the tooth with CTZ paste. After 6 months of the procedure, the toothwas clinically and radiographically normal and after 3 years it was observed that tooth 85 was in completeroot resorption. After extraction, the permanent successor erupted naturally without clinical or radiographicalterations. It can be concluded that the present clinical case demonstrated success in the use of CTZ paste in thelesion sterilization and tissue repair of primary molars, until the complete eruption of the permanent successor.KEYWORDSPrimary tooth; Pulpectomy; Pediatric dentistry; Endodontics; Case report.
