Abstract

The outcome of an endodontically treated primary tooth is affected not only by the biomechanical root preparation and disinfecting solutions, but also by the biocompatibility and resorbing properties of the obturating materials used through techniques that provide adequate fill and adherence of the material. The aim of the study is to recognise the most preferred obturating material and technique used by pediatric dentists for single visit pulpectomy. A total of 2496 pulpectomy procedures were obtained by reviewing case sheets and were analysed using descriptive statistics on SPSS Software. Among 2496 procedures, 96.6% utilised Metapex as the obturating material and 77.5% employed condensation technique for obturation. Metapex was the most common obturating material used and condensation technique was the preferred technique by which primary root canals were filled by pediatric dentists for single visit pulpectomy.
