The role of calcium hydroxide in the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes – a case report
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
From an anatomical perspective, the dental pulp is a connective tissue with a specific microcirculatory system with repairing abilities in order to preserve the vitality of the pulp15. Different therapeutic methods in treating the affected dental pulp can be compromised by different factors and can lead us to failure. Due to disorders emerged in the microcirculatory system, the treatment of the affected dental pulpin patients with type 2 diabetes is an additional challenge. Type 2 diabetes can impact different functions of the patients’ immune system, with a predisposion to chronic inflammation, progressive tissue degradation and reduced tissue repairing15. Regarding the endodontic therapy of the affected dental pulp in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), an important role in the treatment of pulpal complications is played by the calcium hydroxide which is considered „the golden standard” because of its excellent properties, the very alkaline pH being one of the most important.
