INTRODUCTION4
Definition:“temporary placement of medicaments with good biocompatibility into root canals for the purpose of inhibiting coronal invasion of bacteria from the oral cavity”.Nobuyuki Kawashima, International Dental Journal (2009) 59, 5-11
Use of intracanal medicaments (Chong and Pittford -1992)
1. Eliminate remaining bacteria after canal instrumentation2. Reduce inflammation of periapical tissues and pulp
remnants3. Neutralize tissue debris and render canal contents inert4. Act as a barrier against leakage from the temporary filling5. Help to dry persistently wet canals

Requirements of an ideal intra canal medicament
5
Chong and Pittford -19921. Non irritant to periapical tissues2. Able to eliminate bacterial flora of the canal3. Prevent pain4. Reduce periapical inflammation5. Stimulate perapical repair6. Effective rapidly and active for long periods7. Capable of diffusion and penetration into dentin8. Effective in the presence of pus and organic debris9. Long shelf life10. Non staining
![Page 6: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rationale for use of intracanal medicaments
6
‡ Reduce root canal microflora following cleaning of the canal - minimal effect on normal host tissue
‡ Reduce post instrumentation pain‡ Antimicrobial effect :Tissue toxicity directly related
to this effect‡ Potent antibacterial medications – most irritating‡ Diluted – ineffective‡ Host –tissue responses
Universally accepted means of canal disinfection – canal instrumentation + chemomechanical
preparation

Irrigating materials7
Aim : removal of pulp remnants and dentin debris
![Page 8: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ideal properties of Irrigating materials8
Walten and Torabinajed – 19891. Tissue and debris dissolution2. Low surface tension - promote the flow of
irrigant into inaccessible areas3. Lubricant property – enables instrument to
readily slide down the canal4. Sterilization5. Removal of smear layer6. Cost7. Adequate shelf life8. Ease of storage
![Page 9: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Classification of irrigating materials9
Chemically non active solutions1. Water2. Saline3. Local anesthetic Chemically active materials1. Acids: 30% HCl, 50% Sulphuric acid, citric acid2. Alkalis: NaOCl, NaOH, 3. Chelating agents: EDTA4. Oxidizing agents5. Antibacterial agents : chlorhexidine6. Detergents : sodium lauryl sulphate
![Page 10: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Classification of irrigating materials Acc to Cohen:
1. Proteolytic materials2. Detergents3. Decalcifying materials
![Page 11: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Proteolytic materials - NaOCl Early 20th century : treating wounds Clear,straw coloured reducing agent – 5%
chlorine Actions :• Dissolves necrotic tissues and debris -
Availability of free chlorine Higher temperature
• Concentration : 0.5% - Dakin 5.25% 1% - antimicrobial effect The concentration rise is directly proportional
to the antimicrobial effect and tissue dissolution capacity and inversely proportional to biologic compatibility.

Destruction of bacteria :1. biosynthetic alterations in cellular
metabolism and phospholipid destruction,
2. formation of chloramines that interfere in cellular metabolism, oxidative action with irreversible enzymatic inactivation in bacteria, and
3. lipid and fatty acid degradation
![Page 13: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NaOCl13
Does not effectively wet dentin Canal extensions – poorly irrigated Deplete dentin of organic compounds Pure NaOCl – 5.25% NaOCl Toxic Commercial NaOCl buffered – pH 12 to13 –
caustic Diluted – limited shelf life Stored for 1-2 weeks

Formocresol 23
Mechanism of action: 1. Prevents tissue autolysis – bonding to
proteins(peptide group of side chain aminoacids)2. Reversible process- no change in basic structure of
proteins
Emmerson (1959) :• Action on pulp tissue• Varied with length of time of contact• 5minutes : surface fixation of normal tissue• 3 days : calcific degeration• Vital /nonvital pulpotomy : depends on duration

Massler and Mansokhani – 1959
Immediate: 7 – 14 days1. Broad eosinophilic zone of
fixation2. Broad pale staining zone of
atrophy with poor cellular definition
3. Broad zone of inflammation extending apically
After 1 year: progressive apical movement of the zones with only acidophilic zone left at the end of 1 year
![Page 25: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Jacob Daniel 1959: distinct zones1. Superficial debris along with dentinal
chips at the amputation site2. Eosinophilic stained and compressed
tissue3. Palely stained zone with loss of cellular
definition4. An area of fibrotic and inflammatory
activity5. An area of normal appearing pulp tissue
considered to be vital

Reparative dentin formation
A rise in pH due to free hydroxyl ions may initiate or favour mineralization (Tronstad et al. 1981).
An alkaline pH may also neutralize the lactic acid secreted by osteoclasts, -prevent further destruction of mineralized tissue.
Exerts a mitogenic and osteogenic effect, the high pH combined with the availability of calcium and hydroxyl ions- effects enzymatic pathways and hence mineralization (Torneck et al. 1983).
High pH - activate alkaline phosphatase activity (important role in hard tissue formation) (Guo & Messer 1976).
The optimum pH for alkaline phosphatase activity is 10.2 (Gordon et al. 1985)
Heithersay (1975)suggested that calcium ions -reduce the permeability of new capillaries - less intercellular serum is produced, thus increasing the concentration of calcium ions at the mineralization site.
The presence of a high calcium concentration - increase the activity of calcium dependent pyrophosphatase, which represents an important part of the mineralization process.
![Page 54: pulpal medicaments](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050709/5527991455034609368b4851/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
The reduced capillary permeability following the increase in the number of calcium ions could reduce serum flow within the dental pulp, and consequently the concentration of the inhibitory pyrophosphate ion would be reduced.
This would coincide with an increase in levels of calcium-dependent pyrophosphatase - Heithersay (1975)- result in uncontrolled mineralization of the pulp tissue
This could possibly explain the high incidence of mineralized canals observed following pulpotomy and direct pulp capping (Langeiand et al. 1971, Seltzer & Bender 1984)

There was a 20% incidence of succedaneous tooth anterior cross-bite or palatal eruption following incisor PEs and 21.6% ectopic eruption of premolars following primary molar PEs. Most PEs (95.9%) were lost at their normal exfoliation time or earlier, but 35.8% needed extraction due to overretention by soft tissue at the time of shedding. Pulpectomy success rates showed that the most important preoperative predictor was the amount of primary tooth root resorption. Greater than 1 mm of root resorption resulted in only a 23.1% success rate, which was significant (P = 0.001). Pulpectomies filled short or to the apex had a significantly greater success (P = 0.011) than long fills. Pulpectomies correctly done do not appear to contribute to adverse effects on succedaneous tooth formation but have a 20% chance of altering the path of permanent tooth eruption

Complete healing of the inter-radicular pathology was seen with Maisto's paste. However, the pathology was present in 40% of the zinc oxide-eugenol treated teeth even after 9 months. Maisto's paste was thus seen to be superior to zinc oxide-eugenol both in clinical as well as radiological evaluation, done over a period of 9 months in relation to bone regeneration, healing of inter-radicular pathology and resorption of excess material.
