Abstract

Intracanal medications have evolved over the years in order to avoid failures, and even these being frequent even today, such innovations are necessary to offer the patient more comfort and a satisfactory treatment. To analyze in the literature the use of both drugs in the treatment of periapical lesions. A descriptive literature search was carried out to find information in the literature on the use of calcium hydroxide as an anesthetic and iodoform with carbopol as medications in the treatment of periapical lesions. Satisfactory results were observed in the regression of these to apical lesions. In addition to the ideal characteristics of iodoform and carbopol, they are effective in inhibiting bacteria responsible for a large part of endodontic failure, which are resistant to calcium hydroxide, making iodoform the first choice of intracanal medication.
