The technique using CTZ paste (chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and zinc oxide-eugenol) in the endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth is easy to perform and requires a single session, which is an advantage with child patients. The inexistence of clinical protocols with the use of CTZ and the multifactorial endodontic repair process in deciduous teeth evidence the need for research on the subject. This study aimed to suggest a clinical protocol model for the systematization and standardization of the endodontic treatment of deciduous teeth using CTZ paste. In the case report presented, after pulp therapy, clinical-radiographical follow-up was conducted after 30, 60, 90 and 180 days. It was concluded that using CTZ paste is a simple, viable, and satisfactory alternative. Future clinical studies are needed regarding CTZ use in child clinic with strong scientific evidence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
