Endodontic implications in orthodontics

Abstract

The present work aims to show us that endodontically treated teeth can be moved and do not represent a contraindication for orthodontic treatment. The chosen design was based on a literature review of the narrative type. The search for articles was carried out digitally, in the Virtual Health Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Google Scholar databases, using the following descriptors: periapical lesion, endodontics, pulp tissues, periapical tissues. Publications related to the objectives listed in this research were included, articles in Portuguese or English, published in the last 10 years, available in full text. Duplicate articles were excluded. According to the analysis of the reviewed literature, the apical periodontal repair starts from the moment the cause of the pulpal and/or periapical lesion is eliminated. This occurs immediately if the filling material is little or not at all aggressive to the periapical tissues. It was seen that materials based on calcium hydroxide without resinous components are phagocytosed. Materials based on resin, silicone, ionomer, zinc oxide and eugenol, bioceramics and gutta-percha will remain in place, inducing periapical granulomas of the foreign body type, which does not prevent tooth movement, but must be followed up every three months.
