O sucesso no tratamento está diretamente relacionado com a localização, tamanho e período entre a ocorrência e o tratamento. Os materiais utilizados no tratamento exercem função importante no selamento da área perfurada e a biocompatibilidade junto aos tecidos. A primeira via de tratamento é a não-cirúrgica. Caso o resultado não seja satisfatório, opta-se pelo acesso cirúrgico. Dos materiais para o tratamento de perfurações, na atualidade, o MTA (Agregado Trióxido Mineral) é o mais usado. É material bioativo que permite a formação de cemento, oferecendo condições para organização dos tecidos de suporte dentário. O objetivo esperado para o tratamento das perfurações é prevenir a reabsorção óssea e a perda de ligamento periodontal da região perfurada evitando a infecção. Foi objetivo desse trabalho descrever dois casos clínicos de dentes com perfuração radicular, preenchidas com cimento a base de MTA.

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of two reciprocating systems for the removal of root-filling material during endodontic retreatment. One hundred extracted mandibular premolars were prepared and root-filled with gutta-percha and sealer. Root fillings were removed with K-files according to the following techniques: Group A – hand instrumentation; Group B – Endo- Gripper system driven by compressed air; Group C – INTRAmatic 29CH + INTRA-LUX 3LD driven by compressed air; Group D – Endo-Gripper system driven by electric engine; Group E – INTRAmatic 29CH + INTRA-LUX 3LD driven by electric engine. The amount of filling debris on root canal walls was assessed radiographically and analysed using Auto CAD 2000 software. One- way ANOVA and Duncan’s test revealed statistically significant differences only in the middle third (P = 0.01); the best results being reached in group D. The apical third displayed the greatest amount of filling material debris, regardless of the technique used.
