Abstract
In case of missing permanent successor very often primary teeth may remain retained for longer time beyond their exfoliation schedule. This case report demonstrates the functional restorative management of a retained mandibular primary second molar with missing successor, treated with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as an obturating material. The material seemed to provide biocompatible sealing of the root canal. After six month follow up, the healing was uneventful without any functional and radiographic complications. Keywords: Primary second molar, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Missing successor
