Tratamento endodôntico em dentes decíduos com pasta CTZ: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

CTZ paste is a filling material that contains antibiotics in its composition and today it stands out for its success in pulp therapy on primary teeth. The objective of this work was to analyze in the literature the clinical efficacy of endodontic therapy in primary teeth with CTZ - Chloramphenicol paste, tetracycline, zinc oxide and eugenol. In order to describe the clinical success of the CTZ paste, a bibliographic review of the national and international scientific literature was carried out in search of articles that presented satisfactory clinical results for the use of the CTZ paste in the routine of pediatric dentists, carried out in the LILACS databases, SCIELO, PUBMED and Google Scholar, using the following descriptors: “odontopediatria / pediatric dentistry”, “endodontics / endodontics” and “deciduous tooth / tooth deciduous”. According to the literature, the CTZ technique can be indicated in any case, regardless of the pulp diagnosis and does not require instrumentation of the channels, and can be performed in a single session, facilitating its use in non-collaborative patients. Indicated for patients who depend on the public service since its components are low cost. In addition, it offers an antimicrobial effect, in which it stabilizes the process of root resorption, without causing damage to the permanent tooth. Antibiotic pastes have shown great importance due to good clinical results, although many dentists do not indicate their use due to tetracycline and chloramphenicol have side effects. However, there is still not enough scientific evidence, making it necessary to develop laboratory, experimental and clinical research, which prove its effectiveness and manipulation of its components.
