Comparison of Effectiveness of Hand Versus Rotary Instrumentation in Pulpectomy of Primary Second Molar Teeth.

To provide an effective technique for pulpectomy in primary second molar teeth in pakistani population, local studies are required. No local studies have been done so far and limited number of international in vivo studies have been conducted previously. Hence this study will evaluate the effectiveness of this technique in pakistani population. If results of this study will be significant in favor of this technique, it will be applied with confidence in same population. There will be better compliance of patients as procedure will be done in single visit.

Children of both genders having age 4-6.5 years
Children having signs and symptoms of irreversible pulpitis in their second primary molar teeth on clinical examination as per operational definition.

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Group B will be assigned to rotary instrumentation.

Device

group B, NiTi rotary protaper system will be used for canal preparation by crown down technique.

will be assigned to rotary instrumentation.

Device

the canal will be prepared by conventional hedstorm files manually by step back technique.

Primary outcomes

To compare the effectiveness of manual versus rotary instrumentation for pulpectomy in primary second molar teeth irreversible pulpitis

Time frame: immediately after obturation

Effectiveness of instruments will be determined by analyzing the adequacy of root canal filling. Adequacy will be checked immediately after root canal filling on periapical radiographs by measuring with scale the distance of root canal filling from apex to length of filling material in both mesial and distal roots. If distance is less than 2.5 mm, it will be called as effective.
