  • Title: Endodontic therapy in a postirradiated child: review of the literature and report of a case.
    Author: Kielbassa AM, Attin T, Schaller HG, Hellwig E.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 1995 Jun; 26(6):405-11. PubMed ID: 8602421.
    Abstract:
    Exodontia of extremely carious teeth leads to a significant risk of osteoradionecrosis in patients who have undergone radiotherapy. In these patients, endodontic treatment could be an alternative. Successful root canal therapy in a girl who had been irradiated for head and neck neoplasms is reported. The results indicated that use of calcium hydroxide to obturate the root canals is a viable method of postirradiation endodontics in primary teeth.
