[Results of a survey on the usefulness of adding corticoids to root canal obturation pastes]. / Résultats d'une enquête sur l'utilité de l'adjonction de corticoïdes aux pâtes d'obturation canalaire

500 questionnaires were sent out. The statistical survey was carried out on 116 replies. It emerges from this survey that 81% of our colleagues who answered use a canal filling paste containing a corticoid. The reason for its use is the prevention of fairly serious medicamentous arthritis. A small number (5 colleagues) had complications which they ascribed to the associated corticoid. A few use a non-hardening paste containing a corticoid as a temporary canal filling.
