ABSTRACT
Introduction: A problem of endodontic origin is solved mainly by cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system. However, the use of medicines for systemic use is a great auxiliary in combating pain, inflammation and/or infection, making easier to treat the clinical status, that patient experiences less pain. Objective: To conduct a literature review evidencing the clinical indications of systemic medication application in endodontics, to aid the professional in achieving more effective and safer therapeutics. Literature review: There is a wide variety of drugs available on market. Consequently, the dentist is uncertain when prescribing systemic medication because a pharmacological arsenal is available. Also, the dentist frequently does not know the mechanism of action of these drugs and their interactions. Additionally to analgesics, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, used to combat pain, inflammation and infection, respectively, dentists can still make use of anxiolytics, in cases of patients very fearful to endodontic treatment. Conclusion: It is of fundamental importance that the dentist knows about the medication type to be used in each case and whether systemic therapy is really necessary, through a comprehensive case evaluation.
ABSTRACT
O presente relato descreve o tratamento endodôntico não-cirúrgico de um incisivo lateral superior direito portador da malformação conhecida como dens invaginatus, com lesão periapical e ápice incompletamente formado. O tratamento realizado com medicação intracanal prolongada com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio/iodofórmio e propilenoglicol, e obturação definitiva do canal radicular com cimento Sealapex conduziu ao sucesso clínico, representado pelo reparo da lesão periapical e apicificação.
This case report describes a nonsurgical endodontic treatment of dens invaginatus in a maxillary right lateral incisor with periradicular lesion and incompletely formed apex. The treatment realized with a long-term intracanal dressing with calcium hydroxide paste with iodoform and propylene glicol and definitive filling of the root canal with Sealapex sealer, leaded to the clinical success, represented by the periradicular lesion healing and apicification.

Assim como a infiltração marginal apical, a infiltração marginal coronária também vem sendo salientada e destacada com a publicação de numerosos trabalhos na literatura mais recente. Porém, houve um alerta para o assunto desde o século passado, quando se verificou que os materiais restauradores definitivos ou temporários têm as suas limitações. O presente relato aborda o problema da infiltração coronária em dentes tratados endodonticamente, decorrente de uma restauração definitiva inadequada. Aponta, ainda, para a necessidade de um tratamento endodôntico que vede hermeticamente todo o sistema de canais radiculares, bem como a durabilidade e eficiência dos materiais restauradores provisórios e definitivos. Aborda, por fim, outro fator complicador, quando o paciente não procura o profissional para completar o tratamento restaurador da coroa dentária.
As well as apicalleakage, coronary leakage have also recently acquired its due importance. However, such theme has been reported since last century, and it is well known that definitive or temporary restoring materiaIs have their limitations. This paper analyses this controversial subject, coronary leakage in endodontically treated teeth, as a result or not of definitive sealing. It also points out to the necessity of an endodontic approach that can hermetically seal all the root canal system, as well as to the durability and efficiency ofthe temporary and definitive restoring material. Itfinally approaches a complicatingfactor, thefact that the patient do not seekfor professional help to comply with the complete restoration of dental crown.
