Sažetak

On reviewing the work of the Zagreb stomatologist Dr Matić of 1926, we may state that his conceptions of endodontic procedures were only correct in principle. The author widened the canals of the tooth as far as the apex, disinfected them most often with tricresolformalin where protein coagulation was desirable, while suppurative secretion was rinsed with H909. In any case the bad side of this procedure was the filling of the canal. He did it in the lower part of the root and used only cotton wool dipped in tricresolformalin. Dr. Matić stated that he had excellent results and was able to cure all fistulae. We may believe this statement because fistulae tend to close quickly after the canal have been widely opened and disinfected. However, the duration of such fillings consisting of cotton wool and the alleged success are less credible. The author of this paper had the opportunity to see such fillings without periapical changes but frequently with exacerbation as well. In his time dr. Matić was considered a progressive dentist, though today we cannot agree with his procedures and this review is thus of historical value.
