Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Systemic pathology (clinically compromising conditions and special health care needs); history of allergic reaction to local anesthetics or to the components of the test materials; antibiotic therapy in the 30 days prior to the intervention or during treatment; teeth unable to receive absolute isolation and / or unable to be restored; tooth that has previously undergone root canal manipulation; tooth with interradicular or periapical radiolucency involving more than half of the smallest vertically measured root; tooth with internal root resorption; tooth with physiological or pathological external root resorption of more than one third of its length; root canal obliteration; or inadequate bone support evidenced by non-physiological tooth mobility compared to the contralateral tooth.
