Introduction: The presence of microorganisms is considered the main cause of endodontic therapy failure. In addition, an internal anatomy also poses a major challenge for endodontists. In this way, avail a series of quick techniques and increase the chance of success. The reason of this study was to relate clinical cases, root canal treatment, using mechanized instrumentation with the system Reciproc Blue instrument, associated with photodynamic therapy. Case report: A female genetic patient, brown skin, presented at the school clinic of a dental school, with a major complaint of “blistering on the gum.” At the clinical examination, the target dates are inside the mouth active in the selection bottom region near the apexes of the elements 12 and 22. Through clinical, radiographic, sensitivity and screening tests of fistulae, diagnosis and diagnosis of pulp necrosis, suggestive of chronic apex abscess of the incisors. Results: Endodontic treatment of the two dental elements was performed in a single session using the Reciproc Blue instrument in a reciprocating motion associated with photodynamic therapy. After 30 days of completion of endodontic and restorative treatments, one patient returned for evaluation and clinical follow-up. The new asymptomatic presentation and with a healing of the intrabucal fistulas. Conclusion: The system Reciproc Blue associated with photo-dynamic therapy was effective. It was verified the clinical and radiographic success of apicality, confirming the reestablishment of the apex region with regression of the radiographic lesion and the absence of clinical signs and signs of infection of the root canal. The patient is with the clinician and radiographic studies.
