Objective: This work aims to describe the endodontic treatment performed in a single
session in a patient with chronic non-progressive encephalopathy under general anesthesia,
using technological devices. Case Report: A 31-year-old male patient diagnosed with chronic
non-progressive encephalopathy, sought dental treatment due to tooth pain. He presented
ataxia, atrophy of the upper and lower limbs and involuntary spasms. In the intraoral
examination a generalized excessive occlusal wear and temporary restoration on tooth 46 was
seen. Periapical radiograph showed increased periodontal space and periapical bone rarefaction.
The indication was for endodontic treatment of tooth 46 under general anesthesia. After surgical
risk assessment and pre-anesthetic evaluation, endodontic treatment was performed under
general anesthesia, using an apical locator, mechanized instrumentation and digital
radiography. The tooth restauration was performed in the same clinical moment, without
complications. Results: The 8-month follow-up showed absence clinical signs and symptoms
and radiographic control without periapical changes. Conclusion: In this case, the
incorporation of technology in the endodontic treatment of a patient with chronic nonprogressive encephalopathy ensured a safe and effective treatment for the patient and the staff, with case resolution, promotion of oral health and quality of life.
