The endodontic environment has optimal conditions for the growth of microorganisms that can release by-products into the periapical region of the tooth and cause inflammatory lesions. Chemical disinfection using irritants solutions plays an clinical important role, as they are able to remove waste from contaminated organic and inorganic tissues, generating a residual antibacterial effect. The purpose of this study was to show the effectiveness of 2.5% and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as an irrigating agent for the clinical management of a chronic periapical abscess in a tooth with apical resorption. Initially, 2.5% sodium hypochlorite was used, however, as it did not have an optimal abscess healing response after 3 days, it was decided to use a concentration of 5.25% to achieve a better bactericidal effect. After 5 days, the fistula healed, and endodontic treatment continued. One of the per...

Introducción: Aplicando el Proceso de Atención de Enfermería (PAE) como metodología científica estructurada y utilizando un caso clínico en el contexto quirúrgico adulto, se integraron las taxonomías internacionales NANDA-I, NOC y NIC para organizar y evaluar el cuidado enfermero en un paciente postoperado de apendicectomía complicada. Objetivo: Planificar, ejecutar y evaluar un plan de cuidados de enfermería en un paciente adulto con apendicitis complicada y dren Penrose, priorizando intervenciones que reduzcan riesgos clínicos y promuevan el autocuidado progresivo durante la hospitalización. Presentación del caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 35 años, con diagnóstico médico de apendicitis complicada con absceso, manejado quirúrgicamente mediante apendicectomía y colocación de dren Penrose. Ingresó con dolor abdominal intenso, signos inflamatorios, fiebre e intoler...
