Definition
It is the technique to gain an
access to the root canals,
remove as much dead &
infected material as possible
& fill the root canals with a
suitable material to maintain

Complete/Total
Pulpectomy:
It is the extirpation of normal
or diseased pulp to or near
the apical foramen .
Partial
Pulpectomy:
It is the extirpation of normal
or diseased pulp of tooth with
an incompletely formed root
& an open apex.
www.FourthMolar.com
Historical Perspective:
Irreversible inflammation
extending to the radicular pulp
Pathologic resorption of at
least 1/3rd of the root with a
fistulous sinus tract
Peri-radicular involvement extending
to the permanent tooth bud
Extensive pulp floor
opening into the
bifurcation www.FourthMolar.com
Excessive internal
resorption
Primary teeth with underlying
dentigerous or follicular cysts

Treatment
Objectives:
To maintain the tooth free of
infection
To bio-mechanically clean &
obturate the root canals
To promote physiological root

Treatment
Considerations:
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The patient should be healthy & co-operative.
Informed consent, with a clear explanation of the
procedure to the parents, must be obtained.
DENTAL
CONSIDERATION
The teeth must be restorable after the root canal
S
treatment.
Chronologic & dental age must be evaluated to rule
out teeth with eminent exfoliation.
Psychological or cometic factors must be considered.
The number of teeth to be treated & strategic
importance to the developing occlusion must be
evaluated.

ZOE PASTE
Most commonly used root canal filling
material for primary
Has bactericidal teeth
effect & decreases tooth
pain
Overfilling causes a mild foreign
body reaction
Rate of resorption is slower
than that of the primary tooth
root
Ca(OH)2 PASTE
Generally not used in pulp
treatment for primary teeth
www.FourthMolar.com
APEX { Ca(OH)2 + Iodoform }
Nearly ideal material for filling primary root canals
Mixture is easily applied
Resorbs at a slightly faster rate than the primary
tooth root
Has no toxic effect on permanent successors
Is radioopaque
NK’S PASTE { Ca(OH)2 + CPC }
Is well tolerated by the adjacent periapical tissue
without any inflammation & with deposition of
osteodentin
www.FourthMolar.com
IODOFORM (KRI) PASTE
Resorbs rapidly & has no undesirable effects
on succedaneous teeth
Material extruded into periapical tissue is
rapidly replaced by normal tissue
Has superior antimicrobial action
Does not set into hard mass & can be
removed if re-treatment is required
