“…Management of infected primary teeth not only involves debridement of the root canal and filling the root canal with an obturating material that is biocompatible and would resorb at the same rate as the root of the concerned tooth. 8 It is essential to have a better quality of obturation as it minimizes the risk of apical percolation and coronal leakage. 9 Quality of obturation plays an important role in primary teeth as it is not easy to thoroughly debride microbes from the numerous accessory canals present in the root canal of primary teeth.…”

A bstract Aim The success of the pulpectomy depends on adequate access, cleaning, shaping, and good-quality obturation. Evaluating the quality of obturation is the major tool that determines the success of the procedure. The present study aimed to assess the quality of obturation in all the canals of primary teeth and suggest a new classification. Materials and methods A total of 1,000 radiographs of the pulpectomy procedure performed in primary molars were evaluated. The quality of obturation was assessed for each canal using the criteria given by Coll and Sandrian. The prevalence of each obturation criterion in every canal was represented in the form of a percentage. Results It was observed that among the mandibular primary molars, most of the mesial canals were underfilled, and in the distal canal, most of the canals were overfilled. Among the maxillary primary molars, most of the mesial canals were overfilled, more distal canals were underfilled, and with respect to palatal canals, optimal obturation was seen. Conclusion The pitfalls of the previous classification were revised, and a new classification for assessing the quality of obturation was proposed, which is arch, segment, and canal specific. Clinical significance The new classification will give a more precise assessment for the evaluation of various techniques and materials used for pulpectomy in primary teeth.

“…The canals in this group were obturated using a size 30 endodontic reamer. Two scoops of Endoflas powder were mixed with one drop of liquid to create a medium consistency [6]. After the rubber stopper was placed at the desired working length, the reamer was then coated with Endoflas and introduced into the canal five to seven times for each canal with a vibratory motion and clockwise rotation until the canal's orifice appeared filled with paste [21].…”

“…Obturation with minimum voids and to an optimum length is necessary for successful pulpectomy [5]. It requisites the use of a resorbable material that is similar to that of physiological primary root resorption to produce an airtight seal with antimicrobial qualities, inhibiting the growth of resident bacteria and stimulating periapical healing [6].…”

Objectives. This study was carried out to quantitatively evaluate and compare the sealing ability of Endoflas by using different obturation techniques. Materials and Methods. After 42 extracted primary maxillary incisors and canines were decoronated, their canals were instrumented with K files of size ranging from #15 to #50. In accordance with the obturation technique, the samples were divided into three experimental groups, namely, group I: endodontic pressure syringe, group II: modified disposable syringe, and group III: reamer technique, and two control groups. Dye extraction method was used for leakage evaluation. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s T3 post hoc tests. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05 . Results. Endodontic pressure syringe had significantly less leakage than the modified disposable syringe and reamer techniques ( p < 0.05 ). Meanwhile, no significant difference was found in the mean leakage between the modified disposable syringe and the reamer techniques. Conclusion. Amongst all the techniques used in this study, endodontic pressure syringe could be preferred as an obturation technique in primary teeth when used with Endoflas obturation material because of its potential to provide good apical seal.

“…In India, the prevalence of dental caries in children below five years of age accounts for almost 48.11%, resulting in the early loss of the primary teeth [1]. Meticulous preservation of primary dentition is highly pivotal as natural teeth serve as the best space maintainer that aids in maintaining space for proper eruption of the succedaneous counterpart, intervening in any developing malocclusion, and facilitating the growth of the craniofacial complex [2]. Pulpectomy remains the mainstay of treatment in primary teeth with pulpal invasion.…”

“…Hence, Endoflas is one such material possessing the ideal properties of an obturating agent for the primary teeth. It comprises triiodomethane, zinc oxide (ZO), calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], barium sulfate (BaSO4), iodine dibutyl orthocresol, and liquid components of eugenol and parachlorophenol [2]. Endoflas have the unique advantage of resorption limited to extraradicular material without causing intra-radicular resorption [2].…”
