Use of calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medication in permanent teeth: A brief review of the literature
Abstract
Endodontic treatment aims to reduce bacterial contamination in permanent teeth with pulp necrosis. The success of root canal treatment is directly related to the neutralization and reduction of pathogenic microorganisms, so it is essential to carry out an adequate chemical-mechanical preparation and employ the use of auxiliary medications, in order to combat the maximum of resistant microorganisms. Among these medications, calcium hydroxide stands out for its breadth of beneficial properties to the canal and adjacent tissues, being the drug of first choice, as it has antimicrobial and repair-inducing characteristics.
