RESUMO

The aim of these "in vitro" and "in vivo" studies was to evaluate an endodontic treatment for deciduous teeth, minimally invasive, using the CTZ paste (chloramphenicol, tetracycline and zinc oxide/eugenol). In the "in vitro" study the antimicrobial activity of the CTZ paste on standard microorganisms (E.coli , S.aureus, S.mutans, E.faecalis and P.aeruginosa) was evaluated. The agar diffusion and broth dilution methods were used and the CTZ paste was compared to the ZOE (zinc oxide/eugenol), L&C (calcium hydroxide), 3-Mix (minociclyne, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole e propylene glycol) and Guedes-Pinto (iodoform, paramonoclorophenol e Rifocort) pastes. The antimicrobial activity of the CTZ paste, through the dentinal tubules, were tested on S.mutans, E.faecalis and P.aeruginosa. In the study "in vivo" the clinical performance of CTZ paste was acessed. Six children, aged 7 and 8 years, presenting a decayed lower primary molar decayed with pulp pathology were randomly allocated into the test group (CTZ) and in the control group (ZOE). Clinical and radiographic exams were performed after 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months of follow-up. The results of the "in vitro" experiments demonstrated that CTZ paste had an antimicrobial activity similar to the antimicrobial activity of the 3 Mix paste, with the exception of P.aeruginosa, where CTZ paste presented a worse antimicrobial activity than the 3 Mix paste. The antimicrobial activity of CTZ paste was better than the antimicrobial activity of the other tested materials. Moreover, the CTZ showed an antimicrobial activity through the dentine on S.mutans and E.faecalis. CTZ and ZOE presented a similar clinical performance especially immediately after the treatment. These results suggest that the minimally invasive technique employing the CTZ paste can be an alternative to traditional endodontic treatment and may prevent the early loss of deciduous teeth with pulp pathology. Nevertheless, a clinical trial with an adequate sample size and a longer follow-up period should be performed in order to produce conclusive evidence about the clinical effectiveness of the CTZ paste.
