Comparative evaluation of clinical and radiographic success of three different lesion sterilization and tissue repair techniques as treatment options in primary molars requiring pulpectomy: An in vivo study

Evaluation of pulping therapy in deciduous teeth using chlorhephenicol tetracycline and Zinc oxide

“…Among the treatments conducted in this study, one of the teeth presented a clinical intercurrence, as its abscess reappeared after 30 days; however, the same element radiographically demonstrated decreased periapical radiolucency, corroborating the clinical results highlighted in the literature [15], which presented final rate of 81% of clinical success at the end of the study. Such a result does not mean the material was unsuccessful at all, as most radiographical signs demonstrated that there was bone neoformation in the interradicular region.…”

“…Such a result does not mean the material was unsuccessful at all, as most radiographical signs demonstrated that there was bone neoformation in the interradicular region. Using the CTZ paste contributed to the maintain the deciduous teeth in the dental arch, to complete its life cycle, avoiding extractions and the harm caused by the absence of a deciduous tooth [14,15]. The endodontic treatment with CTZ paste is considered an alternative for the public service, when it is not possible to perform the conventional treatment or when space maintainers are placed.…”

Primary tooth pulpectomy overfilling by different placement techniques: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Various root canal obturation techniques and materials are used to adequately adapt the paste to root canal walls, completely fill the root canal, and acquire an optimum apical seal without overfilling, which are major predicting factors for preventing recurrence of bacterial infection and successful root canal treatment of primary teeth. 1,[22][23][24][25]29,[33][34][35][36] This review was undertaken for the first time to evaluate the overfilling rate of primary tooth pulpectomy by different placement techniques. Observational and crosssectional studies, clinical trials, and in vitro studies that presented useful data were included, although they had no randomization or control groups.…”

“…Although various techniques have been used for root canal filling in primary teeth, previous findings regarding the effectiveness of these techniques for adequate filling of root canals have yielded controversial results, with no consensus about one particular technique's superiority. 3,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Therefore, this systematic review was conducted to explore the overfilling rate with different root canal filling techniques in primary teeth in the available clinical and in vitro studies. electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus for English language peer-reviewed articles published until February 2018 using the following search strategy ("root canal filling" OR "root canal obturation" OR "root canal obturating" OR "root canal treatment" OR "root canal therapy" OR "obturation method" OR "obturation methods" OR "obturation technique" OR "obturation techniques" OR "obturation" OR "obturating" OR "pulp therapy" OR "pulpectomy") AND ("child" OR "children" OR "deciduous" OR "primary teeth" OR "primary tooth" OR "primary molar").…”

Antibacterial and Solubility Analysis of Experimental Phytotherapeutic Paste for Endodontic Treatment of Primary Teeth

“…Among the root canal filling pastes indicated in literature, CTZ (chloramphenicol, tetracycline, zinc oxide and eugenol) presents satisfactory clinical results, as well as a simple and easy-to-perform technique [3,5,6]. However, this material is still not widely used, due to factors such as the fear of professionals regarding biocompatibility of the paste (a few numbers of studies analysed this propriety) [7] and the lack of studies that verified long-term clinical success of this therapy [3].…”
