Background This in vitro study aims to compare rotary files (Fanta and Zuanba) with manual K files according to the amount of dentin removed and canal transportation in primary mandibular second molars by CBCT images. Methods This experimental study was conducted on 60 extracted human second primary molars. That were divided into three groups according to root canal preparation group "I" instrumented with manual K-files, group "II" instrumented with rotary Fanta files, and group "III" instrumented with rotary Zuanba files. After root canal preparation, teeth were scanned before and after mechanical preparation with CBCT scanner. Then the amount of dentin removed was determined at three levels, including the coronal, middle and apical levels. Data were statically analysed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Result No statistically significant difference in the amount of dentin removed were noted between the manual and the rotary groups at the coronal and apical RC levels (P = 0.420) and (P = 0.819) respectively but significant difference was noted at the middle third (P = 0.043). Regarding RC transportation, no significant difference was noted among the three groups with the exception of the apical RC level (P = 0.043). Conclusion Although no significant differences were noted between rotary and manual files, the rotary files showed better performance.

Introduction: In the COVID-19 pandemic scenario, in addition to the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, microbial coinfection increases the difficulties of diagnosis, treatment, the prognosis of COVID-19, as well as it can worsen comorbidities and affect the risk of the life of patients. COVID-19 has had a profound impact on dentistry. In addition to endodontic treatment, a management protocol was suggested. Objective: To present the importance of effectively performing endodontic asepsis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, to elucidate that infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus can lead to coinfection, worsening the conditions for endodontic treatment. Methods: The research was carried out from July 2021 to August 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 70 articles were found involving the endodontic treatment and COVID-19. A total of 58 articles were evaluated in full and 39 were included and evaluated in the present study. It was found that ozone has high antimicrobial action. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has a potent effect against endodontic biofilms. Calcium hydroxide is more effective as a root canal disinfectant in primary teeth than formocresol and camphorphenol. The association of 2% chlorhexidine followed by ozone gas for 24 seconds promoted the complete elimination of Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis. Low-intensity laser therapy has the property of oral sterilization, facilitating tissue healing and sterilization. Combining antimicrobial photodynamic therapy with antimicrobial irrigants may provide a synergistic effect. Conclusion: There are effective treatments for the sterilization of endodontic tissues, to avoid as much as possible the coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 and the consequent worsening of the infectious condition, highlighting calcium hydroxide, ozone therapy, and laser therapy.

“…DISCUSSION Ca(OH)₂ seems to have an overall positive effect when used during root canal treatment. Liying Jia et al compared the success of Ca(OH)₂, Formocresol (FC), and Camphor Phenol (CP), which are all intracanal disinfectants [5]. Evaluating 16 randomized controlled trials, Ca(OH)₂ had better clinical effectiveness over FC and CP.…”

bstract: The use of different chemical compounds in endodontics has proven to be effective in dental procedures, treatments, and the preservation of teeth. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) is a common chemical compound used as an intracanal medicament during root canal treatment. It can also be used as a root canal sealant, a root dressing, and many more procedures such as root perforations and apical closures. This article aims to explore how Ca(OH)₂ uses its antibacterial properties to contribute to the success of root canal treatment. It will go over the mechanism of action, the effects it has, and how it is used in the field of endodontics. By inhibiting enzymes, damaging the cytoplasmic membrane, and causing protein denaturation, Ca(OH)₂ is used for disinfection. It is still unclear which function is the main cause of bacterial destruction. Nonetheless, Ca(OH)₂ is an effective medicament that has many antibacterial properties.
