- Abstract
Background: Paediatric rotary file systems have recently been developed for primary teeth use. Aim: To study the cleaning efficacies of two paediatric rotary endodontic files, the Prime PedoTM, and the Kedo‐SG BlueTM against the standard H files. Design: This in vitro study included 54 freshly extracted primary molars, which were randomised into three groups (n = 18 each) and were prepared using either Kedo‐SG BlueTM, Prime PedoTM or hand H files after injecting methylene blue dye into the canals. Pre‐ and post‐operative cone beam computerised tomography (CBCT) was performed to assess change in root canal volumes. Methylene blue dye removal from canals was assessed using stereomicroscopy, and canal cleanliness was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: Both Prime PedoTM and Kedo‐SG BlueTM files reduced significantly less dentine when compared with conventional hand filing with Prime PedoTM removing the least amount of dentine. No significant difference was found in median SEM scores among the groups in the cervical, middle and apical thirds of the roots. Stereomicroscopic assessment of root canal cleanliness using dye removal technique shows a statistically significant difference existing between Kedo‐SG BlueTM and hand H files groups. Conclusion: Prime PedoTM removed the least amount of dentine. Kedo‐SG BlueTM performed significantly better than conventional hand filing with H files when the root canal cleanliness was assessed.
