The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and radiological outcome of root canal treatment with OrthoMTA in primary second molars without successors in which traditional root canal treatment with gutta-percha could not be performed.
The study included 13 primary mandibular second molars with infected pulp and congenitally missing second premolars in which traditional root canal treatment with gutta-percha was contraindicated. Pulpectomy was performed in each tooth and the canals were filled with OrthoMTA. The clinical and radiological outcomes of the treatment were evaluated at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Fractal analysis was used to detect changes in the trabecular bone after the treatment. Repeated measures analysis of variance test and two independent t-tests were used to evaluate the data.

Clinical success rate
Clinical evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 3 months after treatment using the present clinical criteria. The treatment was decided a clinical success if the tooth fulfilled the following criteria:(1) continued function of the tooth without recurrence of infection; (2) no sensitivity on percussion and palpation; and (3) healthy soft tissues without fistula, abscess, and inflammation of the gums.
Time frame: 3 months after root canal treatment
Radiographic success rate
Radiographic evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 3 months after treatment using periapical radiograhps. The treatment was decided to be radiographically successful if it demonstrated the following criteria: (1) decreased radiolucency in the furcation or periradicular region, (2) absence of a new lesion formation.
Time frame: 3 months after root canal treatment
Clinical success rate
Clinical evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 6 months after treatment using the present clinical criteria. The treatment was decided a clinical success if the tooth fulfilled the following criteria:(1) continued function of the tooth without recurrence of infection; (2) no sensitivity on percussion and palpation; and (3) healthy soft tissues without fistula, abscess, and inflammation of the gums.
Time frame: 6 months after root canal treatment
Radiographic success rate
Radiographic evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 6 months after treatment using periapical radiograhps. The treatment was decided to be radiographically successful if it demonstrated the following criteria: (1) decreased radiolucency in the furcation or periradicular region, (2) absence of a new lesion formation.
Time frame: 6 months after root canal treatment
Clinical success rate
Clinical evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 9 months after treatment using the present clinical criteria. The treatment was decided a clinical success if the tooth fulfilled the following criteria:(1) continued function of the tooth without recurrence of infection; (2) no sensitivity on percussion and palpation; and (3) healthy soft tissues without fistula, abscess, and inflammation of the gums.

Clinical evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 12 months after treatment using the present clinical criteria. The treatment was decided a clinical success if the tooth fulfilled the following criteria:(1) continued function of the tooth without recurrence of infection; (2) no sensitivity on percussion and palpation; and (3) healthy soft tissues without fistula, abscess, and inflammation of the gums.
Time frame: 12 months after root canal treatment
Radiographic success rate
Radiographic evaluation of root canal treatment was performed 12 months after treatment using periapical radiograhps. The treatment was decided to be radiographically successful if it demonstrated the following criteria: (1) decreased radiolucency in the furcation or periradicular region, (2) absence of a new lesion formation.
Time frame: 12 months after root canal treatment
Change of fractal dimension
The fractal dimension value of the furcation area between before treatment and 12 months after treatment were compared.
