Agents and Risks[edit | edit source]
Paraformaldehyde[edit | edit source]
- We place it on a small opening of the pulp chamber
- (brand names: DEPULPIN, TOXAVIT)
- After the placement we must achieve hermetic seal!
- We leave the material for maximun 2 weeks
- If not paraformaldehyde diffuses into the roots after that time
- Thus, we must stress to the patient to come to the dentist within 2 weeks
- Limitation of paraformaldehyde application
- We don't apply it in patients with acute periodontitis (thus no percussion positive)
- RISKS
- MUTAGENIC
- Not applied to teeth with approximal caries --> afterwards necrotic papilla
- We must be careful not to place too much material in the upper premolar sand molars, because their apices lie close to the antrum
Tricresol Formalin[edit | edit source]
- It is another agent used for mortal endodontic treatment
- Also called Formocresol
- Used also for mortal pulpotomy
- It is a procedure used for mummification of the pulp, but only for deciduous teeth
- Used in the following concentration: 19-37 %
