- Abstract
Background: The principle goal in pediatric dentistry is to retain the primary teeth in the oral cavity until its physiological exfoliation to preserve arch integrity. Pulpectomy is one of the options for treating primary molars with pulpal disease. Body: Pulpectomy is one of the most important procedures in maintaining the necrotic primary teeth until physiologic exfoliation. The biomechanical preparation and irrigation of the root canal is the primary determinant of the outcome of a pulpectomy. Time efficiency is extremely valuable in clinical practice, particularly in pediatric endodontics. The rotary technique of instrumentation is known to minimize debris extrusion and also facilitates obturation. Adult NiTi files can be problematic to use in children because of their comparatively thin walls and constantly shifting apical foramen which can result in over instrumentation and lateral perforation because of their larger taper. Pediatric dentists have benefited from the development of NiTi rotary files. Deciduous teeth have shorter root canal lengths than permanent dentition, which allows for faster rotary instrumentation. In addition, managing kids is one of the biggest tasks on dental chair and rotary files encourage cooperation from the patient by reducing the length of time needed to shape the canals. The Kedo S file system was created to address these drawbacks and revolutionize pediatric endodontics. After that, various other rotary file systems were introduced like DXL-Pro, PedoTM, Pro AF Baby Gold, Prime PedoTM, and NeolixTM. Conclusion: The present poster highlights about various file system exclusively designed for pediatric endodontic use.
