MELLO-MOURA, Anna Carolina Volpi et al. How can we optimize endodontics in primary teeth? A reported case.. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2013, vol.67, n.1, pp. 50-55. ISSN 0004-5276.

The endodontic treatment in primary teeth due to caries or trauma with pulp involvement is often necessary in Pediatric Dentistry. However, it has been observed that the technical quality of endodontic primary teeth is often left out justified by the difficult behavior of children and the internal anatomical features of the deciduous teeth. Thus, it would be interesting to recover and add new concepts to endodontics in primary teeth to facilitate the day-to-day clinical and optimized treatment. The aim of this study was to describe a clinical case of a patient treated in the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of the Graduate UNIARARAS, where they performed endodontic treatment in deciduous left maxillary central incisor, through a new proposal, which aims to improve the quality of endodontic technique in primary teeth using electronic apex locators, ultrasound, mechanical instrumentation system. It was concluded that the use of new technologies introduced as a viable alternative to endodontic treatment of deciduous incisor reported, aiding and achieving a satisfactory outcome in relation to the mechanical preparation of the canal and fill it with filling material. Further studies should be performed to evaluate the use of these new technologies in endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth.
