Literature review on rotary endodontics in primary teeth

Abstract

Primary teeth retention is of utmost importance till the occurrence of the physiological exfoliation. One of the most eminent ways of preserving a necrotic primary teeth is by performing the pulpectomy procedure. The biomechanical preparation of the canal has got a crucial role in the pulpectomy procedure. Manual method is considered to be the standard method of biomechanical preparation but still has certain drawbacks which lead to introduction of rotary instrumentation as this method is more viable and less time consuming. However, the application of rotary instrumentation technique in the pediatric dentistry is not extensive due to limited information regarding the usage of the technique in the field of pediatric dentistry. The present review focuses on rotary instrumentation and various rotary systems and their application in the pediatric dentistry.
