An interventional study of Rotary files in Chronic Infection, sponsored by Cairo University. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 4 Years to 12 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-09-26.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
One of the most important concerns in pediatric dentistry is the loss of necrotic primary molars leading to space loss. pulpectomies for primary teeth with severe pulpal involvement should be considered as the treatment of choice.
Bacteria plays an essential role in the initiation and perpetuation of pulpal and periapical disease. The investigator's target when cleaning and shaping the root canal system is to remove bacteria-containing tissue.
The removal of organic debris is the main purpose of instrumentation in pulpectomy procedures in primary teeth, this could be achieved using manual or rotary Ni-Ti files. A practical pulpectomy technique for the primary teeth should include the following:1) Fast procedure with short treatment time and minimal number of appointments.2) Effective debridement of the root canal without weakening the tooth structure or endangering the underlining permanent teeth.3) Minimal procedural complications. 4) Maintaining tooth function until it is naturally exfoliated.
Manufacturers using rotary files highlight their cleaning efficiency for root canal preparations, simple procedures, and decreased procedure time, which is especially important in children.
Considering that preparation time is an important clinical factor in pediatric patient management, the use of rotary instruments for pulpectomies in primary teeth is recommended.

Exclusion Criteria:
1. Pre-operative radiograph showing all roots and their apices. 2. Local anaesthetic (to enable use of rubber dam clamp). 3. Rubber dam isolation. 4. Removal of caries. 5. Removal of roof of pulp chamber. 6. Removal of any remains of coronal pulp tissue with sharp sterile excavator or large bur in slow hand piece. 7. Identify root canals. 8. Irrigate with normal saline (0.9%) 9. Estimate working lengths of root canals keeping 2 mm short of the radiographic apex. 10. Insert rotary files into canals and debride the canals lightly and gently. 11. Irrigate the root canals. 12. Dry canals with pre-measured paper points, keeping 2 mm from root apices. 13. Canals will be dried with paper points, obturated by injecting Metapex. (Meta Biomed - Metapex Root Canal Filling Material) 14. Stainless steel crown will be performed
