Abstract
The authors have investigated the possibilities of applying corticosteroid-antibiotics in the course of modern endodontic treatment for a diseased dental pulp, doing research work over a number of years at the Institute for Dental Pathology of the Faculty of Dentistry in Zagreb. Since these drugs have two properties, i. e. the antiphlogistic and the antibacterial effect, possibilities exist for their application in different diseases of the dental pulp. Particularly in urgent interventions have these drugs proved effective in killing pain quickly and efficaciously in patients suffering from hyperemia and pulpitis. Biopulpectomy totalis must inevitably be carried out at the next visit to the dentist. In the course of the treatment of gangrene of the pulp with or without periapical changes, corticosteroid-antibiotics have also shown good results. Concluding, the authors consider that corticosteroid-antibiotics therapy may be recommended in modern endodontic treatment but with strict indications and only in cases where a precise diagnosis has previously been made.
