Endodontic treatment in pregnant women

Endodontic treatment on pregnant women is an emergency condition to control toothache due to irreversible pulpitis and other causes. The aim of this article is to explain the endodontic management of pregnant patients. Endodontic procedures during pregnancy require special considerations due to hormonal and physiological changes, but with proper precautions, they can be safely performed. Modern techniques like apex locators, reciprocating files, and single-cone obturation improve the efficiency and comfort of treatment. Maintaining good oral health is essential, as poor dental care can lead to complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and early tooth decay in children. By following safety protocols, endodontic care can be safely integrated into prenatal care, supporting the health of both mother and baby.
