Summary

The elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the root canal system is one of the main points in order to have success in endodontic treatment. The objective of this study is to perform a randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of success in endodontic treatment of primary teeth when combined with photodynamic therapy. Will be selected 30 primary teeth of children aged between 3 and 6 years. The teeth will be divided into two groups: group I control, which will be applied the conventional endodontic treatment and group II to be held endodontic treatment with application of photodynamic therapy. In both groups will be made microbiological evaluations before and after endodontic treatment and clinical and radiographic evaluations will be conducted in the day, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after treatment comparing the treatment performed in both groups.
