Professional Practices Regarding Treatment of Non-vital Primary Teeth Among Dental Surgeons in France

When faced with primary teeth affected by irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis, extraction is often the preferred option for practitioners, although validated alternatives exist, notably pulpectomy, which has high success rates when performed correctly. Recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, this technique relies on rigorous disinfection and the use of materials adapted to natural exfoliation. Lesion sterilization tissue repair (LSTR), although more controversial due to the use of topical antibiotics, can also be considered in certain clinical situations. However, data on French practices in this area are very limited, hence the need to evaluate practitioners' treatment choices, their potential reservations, and the criteria guiding their decisions.
