In certain cases root canal treatment may be an adequate intermediate therapy, mainly for severely traumatized teeth in adolescent patients that probably cannot be retained permanently. The treatment aims at temporary retention of otherwise hopeless teeth until definite treatment, for example insertion of bridges or dental implants, may be performed. This kind of treatment can help to avoid the application of removable prostheses in young patients. This treatment modality requires intensive information to be presented to the patients and their parents on the benefits and risks of the treatment procedures, endodontic treatment under aseptic conditions respecting the general guidelines for root canal treatment, and a strict recall regimen to avoid occurrence or increase of pathological conditions. Four cases (five teeth) of temporary tooth retention by endodontic treatment are presented.
在某些情况下，根管治疗可能是一种适当的中间治疗方法，主要用于青少年患者中严重创伤的牙齿，这些牙齿可能无法永久保留。该治疗旨在暂时保留原本无望保留的牙齿，直到可以进行确定性治疗，例如植入桥体或牙种植体。这种治疗有助于避免在年轻患者中使用可摘义齿。这种治疗方式需要向患者及其父母详细介绍治疗程序的益处和风险，在无菌条件下进行根管治疗并遵循根管治疗的一般指南，以及严格的复诊方案以避免病理状况的发生或加重。本文介绍了4例（5颗牙齿）通过根管治疗进行临时牙齿保留的病例。
