Most of the pulp was removed with a sterile high-speed diamond bur under sterile saline solution irrigation and amputated to the canal orifices level. Hemostasis was achieved by irrigation of the cavity with the same solution and an application of small cotton pellets for max.10 min. White Mineral Trioxide Aggregate was mixed according to the manufacturer´s instructions and was placed against the wound after successful hemostasis using an amalgam carrier and packed using an amalgam standard condenser. The material was adapted and a moistened cotton pellet was placed directly over the Mineral Trioxide Aggregate. After 15 minutes, the cotton was removed and the tooth was restored with amalgam. A postoperative radiograph was taken after restoration, general care instructions were given to the patients, and the recommendation of three analgesic intakes.
