Treatment of primary teeth or permanent teeth in children presents a challenge to the clinician. In today’s time, dental caries found to be the most common oral disease affecting the oral cavity of the children’s. And most of the cases of dental caries when not treated in the initial time leads to inflammation of the pulp and once the pulp got inflamed, patient presents with pain, at that time only option left for the dentist is removal of the inflamed pulp from the pulp chambers and then fill the root canals with obturating materials and form the apical seal, so that there will be no communication of the tooth with the external environment. Pulp pathologies when not treated on time, might leads to problem which is known as malocclusion of the teeth. Pulp treatment in children/or in primary teeth are different as compared to the permanent teeth, and simultaneously the obturating materials for the primary teeth are also different as compared to the obturating materials for the permanent teeth. It has been found that adequate cleaning of the canal and irrigation of the canal is quite difficult in primary teeth due to the complex anatomy of the root canal morphology. There are different materials which can be used as an obturating materials for the primary teeth for example zinc oxide eugenol material, has been into the use since long time as an obturating material of choice in the primary teeth, and also zinc oxide eugenol material can not considered as an ideal root canal filling material as this obturating material shows very much little anti-microbial action and this material also shows slower rate of resorption.

A bstract Aim and objectives The present study was intended to assess the biocompatibility of newly formulated materials such as zinc oxide (ZO) admixed with ajwain oil (A) as well as ajwain eugenol (E) (1:1 ratio) against ZOE through an animal model as root canal obturating materials in deciduous teeth. Materials and methods The study involved randomly selected 24 albino rats, which were divided into three groups based on test materials. Two polyethylene tubes (PETT) (8 mm long × 1 mm internal diameter) were inserted into connective tissues of the dorsal side on either side of each rat viz empty tube (negative control) and another containing test material (test group). Animals were sacrificed at the end of the 7th and 21st days. PETT with surrounding connective tissues were excised. Histopathological evaluations of the material's biocompatibility were done by determining inflammatory tissue responses. Non-parametric tests such as Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U were used for statistical analysis ( p < 0.05). Results Histopathological examination on the 7th day showed increased polymorphonuclear cells for all test materials compared to the negative control ( p = 0.92), suggesting acute inflammation. The inflammation subsided gradually after 21 days ( p = 0.48). The lymphocytes increased after 21 days for all the materials indicating chronic inflammation ( p = 0.79), as well as fibroblasts ( p = 0.34) and capillaries ( p = 0.35), indicating healing and repair. Conclusion The newly formulated obturating materials were found to be biocompatible compared to ZOE. How to cite this article Dahake PT, Joshi SS, Kale YJ, et al.

Aim The present study was conducted to compare three obturating materials—zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), zinc oxide (ZO) powder with aloe vera gel, and Endoflas powder with aloe vera gel in primary molars. Materials and methods The study was conducted on 45 primary molars with chronic infection. A total of 45 primary molars were divided into three groups of 15 each. Group I was obturated with ZOE paste, group II was obturated with ZO powder and aloe vera gel, and group III was obturated with Endoflas powder with aloe vera gel. Clinical and radiographic success and failure at 3, 6, and 9 months were evaluated. Results A total of 15 molars in group I, 15 molars in group II, and 14 molars in group III showed clinical and radiographic success at the 9th-month follow-up. However, there was only one failure in group III during the 9th-month follow-up. Conclusion It was concluded that all three groups showed promising results; ZOE is still considered standard material, whereas ZO powder with aloe vera gel can be used as an alternative to ZOE. Endoflas with aloe vera gel can also be used as an obturating material. How to cite this article Mohile S, Sharma N, Asopa K, et al.
