Abstract

A bibliographic review of the literature available about the use of radiological examinations in pregnant patients needing endodontic treatment was made by analyzing the different criteria on this topic. Texts and journals from 1961 and 1997 were reviewed. The biological effects and the clinical manifestations of the ionizing radiations, the age-radiosensitivity relation, the embrionary stages and their susceptibility to radiations, as well as the criteria of some authors regarding the use of radiographs in this type of patient were approached. It was concluded that the most recommendable periods for the use of radiographs in the endodontic treatment are the second and the third trimester of pregnancy and that they are totally contraindicated during the first trimester.
