Mortal Endodontic Treatment

Indications

 * No effect of anesthetic


 * Lack of time


 * Polyvolent allergy for anesthetics

Paraformaldehyde

 * 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
