Rezumat: Endodontic treatments during pregnancy can be safely performed taking certain precautions. The aim of this clinical case, which we present in our article, was to treat an irreversible pulpitis in a second-trimester pregnancy patient who was undergoing an orthodontic treatment prior to pregnancy. The endodontic treatment was performed without removing the facial arch and brackets, in a single session, using multiple waves condensation method. The endodontic technique of vertical hot condensation used has the advantage that it can fill the entire root system threedimensionally. After one week, the coronal restoration was made with resin composites. Teeth that are included in an orthodontic treatment can be adequately endodontically treated and coronally restored during pregnancy.
