Bacteria have been main causative factor in the pathogenesis and progression of pulp and periapical diseases. The primary aim of endodontic treatment is to remove as many bacteria as possible from the root canal system and then to establish an environment in which remaining organisms cannot live. This can be achieved by combination of local and systemic use of antibiotics. During endodontic treatment, antibiotics may be given systemically or regionally to achieve aseptic environment.

Antibiotic usage in dentistry
TLDR
The current study explores the use of antibiotics in dental practice and offers components to facilitate the ethical use of such medications.
Steroid as an Intracanal Medicament: An Advanced Review
TLDR
The pharmacology and mechanism of actions of steroids as an intracanal medicament considering the indications, contraindications, and side effects are reviewed.
Dental students' knowledge regarding the indications for antibiotics in the management of endodontic infections.
TLDR
Interactive education analysing real endodontic cases using problem-based learning would help students acquire better skills in prescribing antibiotics in pulp-periapical pathosis.
Nanofiber Incorporated Intracanal Medicaments and Its Antibacterial Effect against Enterococcus Faecalis Biofilm: An Invitro study
TLDR
Clinically, triple antibiotic paste is more effective than calcium hydroxide and the nanofibers increase the efficacy of the intracanal medicament used by its effective drug delivery property.

The use of calcium hydroxide, antibiotics and biocides as antimicrobial medicaments in endodontics.
TLDR
Endodontic treatment is to remove as many bacteria as possible from the root canal system and then to create an environment in which any remaining organisms cannot survive, through the use of a combination of aseptic treatment techniques, chemomechanical preparation of theRoot canal, antimicrobial irrigating solutions and intracanal medicaments.
Clinical and pharmacological management of endodontic flare-up
TLDR
The various treatment modalities for relief of pain and swelling in such situations, including premedication, drainage establishment, relief of occlusion, and intracanal and systemic medication are underlined.

TLDR
Different advanced therapeutic strategies for endodontic biofilms such as antibacterial nanoparticles, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy, laser-assisted root canal disinfection, ozone, and herbal/enzyme alternatives are described.
Systemic medication applied to endodontic treatment: a literature review
TLDR
It is of fundamental importance that the dentist knows about the medication type to be used in each case and whether systemic therapy is really necessary, through a comprehensive case evaluation.

    International endodontic journal
  • 1992
TLDR
Calculations of the highest possible amounts that could be used, plus an analysis of the release and diffusion characteristics, and comparisons with known endogenous levels of corticosteroids reveal that the intradental use of Leder Mix paste and Ledermix cement is unlikely to result in any systemic side-effects.
