Efeito da irrigação ultrassônica e da medicação intracanal com hidróxido de cálcio na quantidade e no metabolismo de bactérias que persistiram após o preparo dos canais radiculares de dentes com periodontite apical

Estudos moleculares ressaltam as limitações do protocolo endodôntico tradicional em eliminar bactérias dos canais radiculares. Apesar do preparo químico-cirúrgico (PQC) promover uma drástica redução bacteriana, muitos canais continuam infectados após essa etapa do tratamento. Dessa forma, estud...

Comparison of apical periodontitis repair in endodontic treatment with calcium hydroxide-dressing and aPDT

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on the endodontic treatment of apical periodontitis (AP). AP was induced in 48 premolars of 6 dogs. After biomechanical preparation, the teeth were divided into 4 groups: Calcium-Hydroxide (CH)/120d and CH/180d: root ca...
