Single Rotary File Pulpectomy in Primary Molars

Overview

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of a single rotary file system versus a multiple rotary files system in pulpectomy of primary molars

In pediatric dentistry, premature loss of necrotic primary molars has been a matter of great concern over the years. In modern pedodontic practice, Pulpectomy is regarded as the choice modality of treatment for pulpally involved necrotic teeth. Hand files are used for mechanical preparation of primary tooth during pulpectomy but it has been found to be time consuming and may negatively influence the child's behavior . Much attention has been directed toward making pulpectomy a less time-consuming and a more-efficient procedure. These challenges lead to the introduction of rotary endodontics in pediatric dentistry. However, the bizarre root canal morphology and thinner root dentin limited the use of rotary endodontics in primary teeth. Various modified protocols have been introduced to overcome such barriers to prevent undesirable complications. Up to our knowledge, no clinical trials in the literature have been done to compare the clinical and radiographic success of single rotary file systems versus multiple rotary files systems when used in pulpectomy of primary molars. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the clinical effectiveness of those two techniques
