Preparation of root canal systems includes both enlargement and shaping of the complex endodontic space together with its disinfection. A variety of instruments and techniques have been developed and described for this critical stage of root canal treatment. Although many reports on root canal preparation can be found in the literature, definitive scientific evidence on the quality and clinical appropriateness of different instruments and techniques remains elusive. To a large extent this is because of methodological problems, making comparisons among different investigations difficult if not impossible. The first section of this paper discusses the main problems with the methodology of research relating to root canal preparation while the remaining section critically reviews current endodontic instruments and shaping techniques.

“…Other methods of gutta-percha removal include removing the coronal portion of gutta-percha using Gates Glidden or heat pluggers (4,18), then the rest can be removed by an ultrasonic technique (19,20). Additionally, rotary instruments can also be used, such as the inflexible GPX burs (18,21), the canal finder (22)(23)(24), or one of the recent flexible rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) files in a slow-speed handpiece (25,26).…”

Pediatric endodontics is one of the important clinical procedures for pulpaly involved teeth. The use of nickel-titanium rotary files for root canal instrumentation in primary teeth is reviewed in this article. The use of rotary files in primary teeth has several advantages when compared with manual K-files. The pulpectomy technique is described, and the advantages and disadvantages of using rotary files are discussed. This article mainly focuses on the use of rotary endodontic techniques in pulpectomy procedure in primary teeth.
