Abstract

The aim of this case report was to present using negative apical pressure technique for removal of apically extruded gutta-percha during retreatment procedures. A 22 year-old female patient was referred to the clinic with severe pain, swelling, and tenderness to percussion and palpation in the tooth of #26. Periapical radiograph showed previous root canal treatment of tooth #26 with incomplete root canal fillings. During retreatment procedures gutta-percha apically extruded from mesial root canal. The patient was recalled after one day. At the second session, it was observed that the swelling was increased. One of the tips for calcium hydroxide paste application was adjusted to suction of dental unit. Tip was placed into the canal as deep as possible. After a few attempts, apically extruded gutta-percha was removed and the patient was recalled after one day. At one day from the fragment removal, the swelling was decreased. Calcium hydroxide paste was placed into the canals for one week. At the fourth session, the patient was asymptomatic and the treatment was completed at this session.

Apikalden Çıkmış Gutta-perka Parçasının Çıkarılması İçin Negatif Apikal Basınç Tekniğinin Kullanımı

Abstract

Bu vaka raporunun amacı kanal yenileme işlemleri sırasında apikalden çıkmış gutta-perka parçasının çıkarılması için negatif apikal basınç tekniği kullanımını sunmaktır. 22 yaşında kadın hasta kliniğe #26 numaralı dişinde şiddetli ağrı, şişlik ve perküsyon ve palpasyona hassasiyet sebebiyle kliniğe başvurdu. Periaipkal radyograf #26 numaralı dişinde yetersiz doldurulmuş önceden yapılmış kanal tedavisi olduğunu gösterdi. Kanal yenileme işlemleri sırasında, gutta-perka mezial kök kanalının apikalinden çıktı. Hasta bir gün sonra tekrar çağrıldı. İkinci seansta, şiliğin arttığı gözlendi. Kalsiyum hidroksit patını uygulamak için kullanılan uçlarından biri dental ünitin aspiratörüne adapte edildi. Uç kanalda mümkün olduğunca derine yerleştirildi. Birkaç denemeden sonra, apikalden çıkmış gutta-perka çıkarıldı ve hasta bir gün sonra tekrar çağrıldı. Parçanın çıkarılmasından bir gün sonra, şişlik azaldı. Kanallara bir hafta süreyle kalsiyum hidroksit yerleştirildi. Dördüncü seansta, hasta asemptomatikti ve tedavi bu seansta tamamlandı.
