Resumo
Pupose: To perform a systematic review of the efficacy of calcium hydroxide (CH) dressing
prepared with different vehicles on the treatment of teeth with endodontic infection.
Methods: Search strategies included electronic search in databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE,
CENTRAL) from 1966 to January 2007 and manual search in endodontic journals and
references of previously selected studies. The following terms were used: calcium hydroxide,
chlorhexidine, root canal infection, faecalis, intracanal dressing, endodontic infection,
intracanal medicament, paramonochlorophenol, para monochlorophenol, and
p-monochlorophenol.
Results: From the 71 in vivo studies retrieved, five clinical studies met the inclusion criteria.
Saline solution was the vehicle of CH dressing in all five included studies, and only one
study compared saline versus chlorhexidine as vehicles of CH dressing. From a total of 130
teeth with endodontic infection, 39 teeth (30%) had remaining microorganisms after
sanitation and CH dressing with saline.

in teeth with endodontic infection.
