“…Only six of the clinical studies explicitly aimed at comparing different obturation techniques. [18][19][20][27][28][29] All the included in vitro studies were conducted to compare different obturation methods. 2,3,30,31 Of the 20 included clinical studies, 16 were randomized clinical trials, and four were cross-sectional.…”

“…Grover et al 18 compared a lentulo spiral mounted on a handpiece, pressure syringe, bi-directional spiral, and Pastinject for Endoflas and reported a significantly higher number of overfilled canals with the pressure syringe. Pandranki et al 27 compared a lentulo spiral mounted on a handpiece, Navitip, and plugger with cotton pellet for Endoflas and reported no significant differences between the techniques. Gandhi et al 28 compared disposable syringe, a hand-held lentulo spiral, and Pastinject for Endoflas and reported no significant (Table 1).…”

Background. This study was conducted to investigate root canal overfilling with different material placement techniques in primary teeth. Methods. A systematic search was undertaken by searching PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus for English language peer-reviewed articles published until February 2018 that reported primary tooth pulpectomy overfilling. Two reviewers independently screened and identified studies in terms of the selection criteria and independently collected the data using a specially designed data extraction form. The overfilling rate was the primary summary measure. The weighted pooled overfilling rates were estimated by random-effects meta-analysis. Results. Twenty clinical and four in vitro studies met the eligibility criteria. In the clinical studies, the pooled overfilling rate for zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) was 23.3% with a lentulo spiral mounted on a handpiece, 22.7% with a hand-held lentulo spiral, and 17% with a plugger. The pooled overfilling rate for calcium hydroxide-based materials was 16.7% with a lentulo spiral mounted on a handpiece, 14.7% with a hand-held lentulo spiral, 19.6% with a syringe, and 25.7% with a plugger. In the in vitro studies, neither individual overfilling rates nor two-by-two comparisons were subjected to meta-analysis because of an inadequate number of studies. Conclusion. The lowest overfilling rate in the clinical studies was related to plugger and handheld lentulo spiral techniques for ZOE and calcium hydroxide-based materials, respectively

“…The quality of assessment was done based on the Cochrane database with seven criteria of assessment to have a standardized method. Among the three articles included in this systematic review, two articles (Gandhi et al, 2017;Pandranki et al, 2017) showed a high risk of bias and one article (Vishwanathan et al, 2018) showed a moderate risk of bias. Blinding of personnel and participants was not satisfactory in all the three articles.…”

“…Minor voids were reported with all the three groups. The frequency of voids was more in NaviTip system (46.7%) compared to pluggers (31%) and lentulo spirals (31.1%), but no signi icant difference was found among the study groups (P = 0.208) (Pandranki et al, 2017).

A pulpectomy is the treatment of choice for pulpally involved primary teeth. Pulp therapy prevents the premature loss of primary teeth which could result in loss of arch length, an altered pathway of the eruption of primary teeth, development of aberrant habits. It also restores the dentition to a functional state. Endoflas is a newer obturation material which has a proven clinical success rate. There are various obturation techniques available in the literature. The systematic review aimed to extract and systematically identify the existing literature, which compares different obturation techniques used in the root canal treatment of primary teeth using endoflas as obturation material. The search was done using the MeSH terms and keyword search in the electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, LILAC, Sigle, Science Direct and Google scholar. A total of 13 articles were chosen after the initial screening of the title. Then based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the availability of the full texts, a total of 3 articles were included. This systematic review concludes that there is a need to update the existing literature to find out the beat ideal obturation technique which can provide void-free and ideal obturation of the root canal of the primary teeth using Endoflas.

“…(Memarpour et al, 2013) concluded that NaviTip produced the best results. NaviTips showed poor results when compared to Endodontic Plugger and lentulo spirals when Endo las was used (Pandranki et al, 2017). Khubchandani reported that Navitip controlled voids production and produced the best apical seal (Khubchandani et al, 2017).…”

Dental caries is a global concern affecting children and adults. A pulpectomy is considered to be the treatment of choice to preserve the pulpally involved primary teeth. Among the various factors determining the clinical success of pulpectomy, proper obturation of the root canals plays an important role. Different obturation materials are being used for the obturation of the primary teeth root canal, which includes zinc oxide eugenol, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide iodoform paste and combinations. These materials are available in different forms such as powder, powder and liquid, paste forms. Various techniques are available to introduce the obturation materials into the root canal systems. These techniques have been tried to create a three-dimensional fluid-tight seal of the root canals. This review article aims to highlight the different techniques that are being used for the obturation of primary teeth. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Creation of voids within the obturation, underfilling or overfilling are the common problems that can be encountered during root canal obturation. These factors can compromise the clinical and radiographic success of pulpectomy treatment. With the current evidence, no definitive conclusions can be made to decide which is the best obturation technique in terms of clinical and radiographic success. The choice of technique selection depends on the clinician’s preference, cost-effectiveness, time consumption, ease of handling.

A comparative assessment of different techniques for obturation with endoflas in primary molars: An In vivo Study

Abstract: Motor-driven lentulospiral and pluggers were almost equally efficient to fill Endoflas to an optimal level, devoid of voids, and both were considered better compared to NaviTip system.
