Os beneficios da clorexidina como solução irrigadora dos canais radiculares em dentes decíduos: revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In the endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth, we occasionally encounter significant challenges to overcome,such as effective removal of the smear layer, open apex, and toxicity of irrigants. However, these challengens can lead to failure in the endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth: in complex cases, the irrigant chlorhrxidine increases the chance of achieving greater predictability and sucess in endodontic treatment. OBJECTIVES: To highlight the effectiveness of chlorhexidine when used as an irrigant in the endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth. METHODOLOGY: An integrative literature review that will showed the limitations and benefits of using chlorhexidine as an irrigant in endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth. RESULTS: There are several studies that prove the effectiveness of chlorhexidine when used as irrigants in endodontic treatment of primary teeth. A correct endodontic treatment, with good irrigation that provides antimicrobial removal along with a reduced level of toxicity, will not require extraction. CONCLUSION: chlorhexidine has proven to be a good alternative for the treatment of root canals in primary teeth as irrigants, therefore this literature review study is of great importance.
