|
The purpose of this study was to observe the potentiality of a mixture of antibiotics to relieve the endodontic and periapical infections in primary teeth. A mixture of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and minocyclin in distilled water or in a root canal sealer were used to disinfect the infected endodontic and periapical lesions. For application of this mixture, medication cavities were prepared at orifices of root canals by using the Fissurotomy^(?) burs(S S White, USA). The cavities and buttom of pulp chamber were filled with antibiotics mixture.
In this cases, clinical symptoms were improved following a single application of that mixture. Gingival swelling, pain, and fistulae were disappeared within a week. More long term evaluation will be needed. Although there were no reports of side effects, care should be taken if children are sensitive to antibiotics. Within the limitations of this case, the mixture of 3 antibiotics provided an excellent improvement in treatment of infected primary teeth under the physiologic root resorption.
