A associação da Aloe Vera e do Hidróxido de Cálcio P.A. como medicação intracanal: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Endodontic medications are used as adjuvants in endodontic treatment with the purpose of making the remnant and metabolites and promoting healing. Moisturizing calcium [Ca (OH) 2] is routinely unchanged as intracanal medication due to its antimicrobial action, biocompatibility and ability to induce mineralized tissue formation. However, it is not effective against all bacteria present in the root compartment system. In order to increase the bactericidal action of calcium hydroxide, it has been suggested the association with substances that have properties compatible with calcium to be used as intracanal medication. Aloe vera, popularly known as babosa, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties and induces tissue repair. This study was analyzed by Aloe vera action and calcium hydroxide as intracanal medication through a literature review. A literature review was performed using the descriptors “Calcium hydroxide”, “Aloe vera”, “Acemannan”, “Intracanal medication” and “Endodontics” in the Google databases, CAPES Journal, MedLine and UNESP and UNICAMP Institutional Repositories . Colony water when combined with aloe vera presents satisfactory ionic dissociation, while the masses maintain an alkaline pH. However, there was an increase in genotoxicity in this association and microbial efficiency in relation to Enterococcus faecalis. There are no translations available for the action of Aloe vera intracanal medication, being needed a date of higher satisfactory for including medication in endodontic treatment.
