“…Although zinc oxide and eugenol, calcium hydroxide, and iodoform‐based pastes are currently recommended, there is still no consensus on the gold standard material for this purpose . Considering obturation techniques, endodontic pressure or insulin‐type syringes, the NaviTip system, motor‐ or hand‐driven lentulo spirals, and endodontic pluggers/reamers are currently indicated . Due to the particularities of the root canal system in primary teeth, it however, is still challenging to provide complete a fluid‐tight sealing in these elements.…”

Background Achieving a void‐free root canal filling is a challenge in current clinical pulpectomy practice. Aim To compare filling effectiveness and internal voids of root filling materials and obturation techniques in resin‐prototyped primary incisors by micro‐CT. Design Fifty prototypes were instrumented and randomly divided (n = 10) according to the filling materials (Vitapex®, ZOE, Calcicur®, Feapex, and Calen®‐ZO) and obturation technique: lentulo or pressure syringe (n = 5). The specimens were micro‐CT scanned (pixel size = 7.83 μm) and reconstructed, and the total volume of filled canal (%FC) and internal voids (%IV) of the bulk filling material was calculated. Kruskal‐Wallis and Mann‐Whitney tests were used to detect differences and interactions among groups. Results Calen®‐ZO, Vitapex®, and ZOE showed similar %FC. Calcicur® showed lower %FC compared with Calen®‐ZO, Vitapex®, and ZOE (P < .05) but similar to Feapex. No statistically significant differences in %FC between lentulo or pressure syringe were disclosed. Regarding %IV, Vitapex®, and Calen®‐ZO performed better with syringe, although Calcicur® was better with lentulo. The number of voids in the obturation bulk was similar among materials, but always lower (P < .05) in syringe filled specimens. Conclusion Vitapex®, Calen®‐ZO, and ZOE outperformed Calcicur® and Feapex in %FC and if the syringe technique is used, %IV of the obturation bulk and presence of defects was lower.

“…Handheld lentulospiral is designed with consistently spaced spirals which evenly distribute the material throughout the root canal. The design and flexibility of the lentulospiral allows the paste to be carried throughout the narrow, curved canals in primary molars[ 7 20 ] and provides better control as it is held by hand. [ 21 ] Though lentulospiral is a widely accepted successful technique for delivery, even experienced operators need to reinsert material to ensure better filling quality.…”

Context:A major goal in pediatric dentistry is preservation of the integrity of primary teeth and their supporting tissues until physiological process of exfoliation takes place. Pulpectomy serves such a purpose using various materials and techniques to fill the canals of primary teeth. Aims: The aim of this in vivo study was to determine the efficacy of modified disposable syringe technique in root canals of primary molars using digital radiography when obturated with endoflas.Settings and Design:A clinical study was undertaken for a period of 6 months.Subjects and Methods:A total of 60 primary maxillary and mandibular molars were selected in the age group of 4–8 years and randomly divided into two groups. The teeth were obturated with handheld lentulospiral and a modified disposable syringe techniques. Postoperative radiographic evaluation was done for quality of fill and voids using digital radiography. Statistical Analysis Used: Results were assessed using Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U-test. Results: No statistically significant difference between quality of obturation using hand-held lentulospiral and modified disposable syringe (P < 0.05) was observed. Optimal obturation was achieved in both techniques; however, voids in obturation were not significant.Conclusions:Both the hand-held lentulospiral and modified disposable syringe technique are effective in the obturation of primary molar root canals in terms of quality of fill.

Primary teeth should be preserved until their normal exfoliation time so as to maintain arch length and function in order to provide proper guidance for the eruption of permanent teeth , enhance esthetics and mastication, prevent aberrant tongue habits, aid in speech and prevent the psychological effects associated with tooth loss. Pulpectomy consists of removing the pulp tissue associated with micro-organisms and debris from the canal and obturating with resorbable filling material. Success rate of endodontic therapy depends on many factors like familiarity with the complexity of primary tooth canal systems, their formation and resorption pattern, obturating material as well as obturation technique used that is capable of densely filling the entire root canal system and providing a fluid tight seal from the apical segment of the canal to the cavosurface margin in order to prevent reinfection. This review article basically focuses on various obturating techniques used in deciduous teeth with their comparison, pros and cons.
