Summary

One of the major concerns in pediatric dentistry is premature loss of necrotic primary teeth which may cause a deleterious effect on the growth of the facial skeletal complex. In order to sustain the primary tooth as a natural space maintainer, pulpectomy is considered the treatment of choice.

The essential part of endodontic treatment is to shape and clean the root canal effectively from infected tissue with microbial reduction, whilst maintaining the original configuration without creating any procedural errors . Even though, manual instrumentation as used for that purpose in deciduous teeth, presents some limitation concerning root canal cleaning, anatomical fidelity and chair-side time.

To achieve successful pulpectomy technique for the primary dentition in a fast and simple procedure, with short chair time as well as effective debridement of the root canals, rotary instrumentation is one of the methods recommended over the manual.
