intracanal medication on apical seal," International Endodontic Journal, vol.
Such maintenance is achieved by means of an effective isolation, adequate biomechanical preparation, use of irrigation solutions, and
intracanal medications. Despite this, an efficient coronary sealing is also essential to avoid any contamination of the canals.
In these locations, bacteria may be unaffected by the chemo mechanical preparation of the root canal, therefore further means such as inter-appointment
intracanal medication and use of filling materials with antimicrobial and sealing properties are of essential importance to avoid the growth of microorganisms.
The
intracanal medication should be used at concentrations that are bactericidal but do not simultaneously prejudice stem cell viability [6].
Efficacy of calcium hydroxide: chlorhexidine paste as an
intracanal medication in bovine dentin.
At the end of the first session, a calcium hydroxide paste was used as an
intracanal medication and restorative glass-ionomer cement was used as temporary restoration.
Calcium hydroxide as an
intracanal medication: effect on posttreatment pain.
Intracanal medication of calcium hydroxide (Callen, SS White, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil) was applied prior to the surgical procedure and sealed with glass ionomer restorative material (Figure 2).
Clinical trials have shown that substances used for irrigation or
intracanal medication may have no influence on the occurrence of postoperative symptoms.
A range of clinical protocols have been described, with various irrigants,
intracanal medication, clinical procedures, and follow-up times [8].
The effectiveness of one
intracanal medication versus another was checked in controlling post operative pain after endodontic treatment.
These results suggested that CHX gel might be more effective at curtailing bacteria and thus be better suited as
intracanal medication.
