Aim: Dental pulp necrosis is a complication caused mainly by dental caries and lesions. No consensus has been reached on the best technique and materials for endodontic treatment in the primary dentition. The objective was to present a clinical case report in which different endodontic approaches were performed in traumatized and necrotic homologous teeth.
Methods: A one-year-and-eight-month-old boy suffered dentoalveolar trauma after a fall and sought out the Deciduous Trauma Dental Center of the Federal University of Minas Gerais in October 2018 for clinical and radiographic evaluation. The left maxillary central incisor presented enamel and dentin fracture without pulp exposure, while the right maxillary central incisor presented a small intrusive dislocation. Both presented the development of periapical lesions.
Results: The teeth were treated respectively, using the non-instrumental technique with CTZ paste and the conventional endodontic therapy with Guedes-Pinto paste. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups after treatments revealed asymptomatic teeth and evidence of periapical healing.
Conclusion: The use of CTZ paste in this case report presented satisfactory and similar results to traditional therapy in the short term.
