Direct pulp capping treatment is a conservative treatment based on placing a biologically active material in contact with the exposed pulp, resulting in the development of a hard dentin bridge thus preserving pulp vitality. Most dentists considered that there was a low probability of successful pulp capping due to contamination of the pulp tissue. Over time, the procedure has shown a high clinical success rate in patients who meet the criteria for this treatment. This study aims to provide an integrative analysis of numerous articles published regarding pulp capping with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate. The positive aspects of this material on pulp protection is the priority of this study. To sustain an integrative literature review, 64 bibliographic articles published in English and Portuguese from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Journal of Endodontics, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, Google Scholar and Elsevier were filtered. After the final review, only 22 studies were included due to compatibility with the objective proposed in the study. The studies reviewed indicate the outstanding potential of MTA and increase new studies to keep documenting its effectiveness. It’s possible to affirm that contemporary endodontic analyses support and approve using MTA as a capping element.
