Necesidad de endodoncia en tratamientos de prótesis fija. Revisión de la literatura

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this research is to determine the need for endodontics before fixed prosthesis treatments. Materials and methods: A literature review study was conducted using the Scielo, PubMed, Lilacs, Elsevier, and Google Scholar databases, focusing on the independent (fixed prosthesis) and dependent (need for endodontics) study variables. The scientific articles reviewed were published mainly in English, Spanish, and Portuguese from 2015 to 2021. Results: The search resulted in a total of 2,000 articles when applying the study variables in terms of inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 44 were used for the analysis and results of this bibliographic research. The need for endodontics before fixed prosthesis treatment can be performed in patients with horizontal and vertical coronary fractures, deep caries, and teeth with gyroversion. Conclusion: There is important scientific evidence about the need for endodontics before fixed prosthesis treatments that can be made on horizontal and vertical coronary fractures, teeth with gyroversion, and deep caries.
