Clinical comparison of Kedo-S paediatric rotary files vs manual instrumentation for root canal preparation in primary molars: a double blinded randomised clinical trial

Abstract

Clinical use of paediatric rotary files Kedo-S was effective during root canal preparation of primary teeth with reduction in instrumentation time and better quality of obturation.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials comparing rotary canal instrumentation techniques with manual instrumentation techniques in primary teeth

“…Quality of root canal filling and instrumentation time in primary teeth via manual and rotary techniques were assessed in seven trials (Ochoa‐Romero et al , Makarem et al , Vieyra & Enriquez , Mokhtari et al , Govindaraju et al ,; Jeevanandan & Govindaraju , Morankar et al ). Root filling time was evaluated in four studies (Ochoa‐Romero et al , Makarem et al , Gomes et al , Morankar et al ).…”

“…The results of four trials could be pooled to evaluate the quality of root filling as optimum filled versus under‐ or over‐filled (Ochoa‐Romero et al , Govindaraju et al ,; Jeevanandan & Govindaraju , Morankar et al ). The RR of optimum quality was calculated to be 1.20 (95% CI: 0.99–1.46) in the rotary technique at P = 0.062 (Fig.…”

“…The WMD of mean instrumentation time was pooled from the results of seven trials (Ochoa‐Romero et al , Makarem et al , Vieyra & Enriquez , Mokhtari et al , Govindaraju et al ,; Jeevanandan & Govindaraju , Morankar et al ). The WMD in rotary techniques was 3.48 min less than manual techniques (95% CI: −4.35 to −2.62 min) and had a significant P ‐value < 0.001 (Fig.…”

“…1. After searching the six electronic databases and removal of duplicates, 2471 articles were screened for titles and abstracts, providing a total of 18 studies for full-text reading, which gave 12 articles (Ochoa-Romero et al 2011, Guler et al 2013, Subramaniam et al 2013, Makarem et al 2014, Gomes et al 2014, Topc ßuo glu et al 2017, Mokhtari et al 2017, Govindaraju et al 2017bJeevanandan & Govindaraju 2018, Morankar et al 2018, Nair et al 2018 for qualitative synthesis. Furthermore, two articles (Vieyra & Enriquez 2014, Elheeny et al 2015 were manually added from the hand search of google scholar or reference list of the included articles to give a total of 14 articles.…”
