“…Moreover, an interaction between materials and filling techniques was disclosed, emphasizing that Vitapex ® used with its proprietary syringe, as recommended by the manufacturer resulted in low number of internal voids and the lowest percentage of large voids (Table ). Of course, other factors may also influence the number and the size of voids in filling materials, such as the type, viscosity, and consistency of the paste, and these may justify the differences found among the different obturation materials tested in this study.…”

“…In this study, root filling was performed in specimens with identical root canal anatomy and by a single operator, which makes the technique more reproducible and results more consistent. In primary teeth, some authors found better results NaviTip™ system compared with lentulo or syringe method using Vitapex ® as obturating material and better results for pressure syringes compared with lentulo for delivering Endoflas . Important to note that both studies used low resolution, bidimensional, and subjective evaluation techniques.…”

Background Achieving a void‐free root canal filling is a challenge in current clinical pulpectomy practice. Aim To compare filling effectiveness and internal voids of root filling materials and obturation techniques in resin‐prototyped primary incisors by micro‐CT. Design Fifty prototypes were instrumented and randomly divided (n = 10) according to the filling materials (Vitapex®, ZOE, Calcicur®, Feapex, and Calen®‐ZO) and obturation technique: lentulo or pressure syringe (n = 5). The specimens were micro‐CT scanned (pixel size = 7.83 μm) and reconstructed, and the total volume of filled canal (%FC) and internal voids (%IV) of the bulk filling material was calculated. Kruskal‐Wallis and Mann‐Whitney tests were used to detect differences and interactions among groups. Results Calen®‐ZO, Vitapex®, and ZOE showed similar %FC. Calcicur® showed lower %FC compared with Calen®‐ZO, Vitapex®, and ZOE (P < .05) but similar to Feapex. No statistically significant differences in %FC between lentulo or pressure syringe were disclosed. Regarding %IV, Vitapex®, and Calen®‐ZO performed better with syringe, although Calcicur® was better with lentulo. The number of voids in the obturation bulk was similar among materials, but always lower (P < .05) in syringe filled specimens. Conclusion Vitapex®, Calen®‐ZO, and ZOE outperformed Calcicur® and Feapex in %FC and if the syringe technique is used, %IV of the obturation bulk and presence of defects was lower.

“…To achieve good obturation, various obturation techniques have been proposed. (Gandhi et al, 2017;Mahajan and Bansal, 2015;Memarpour et al, 2013) Different authors have compared different obturation techniques, and the outcome of their studies vary with each other, and there is no standard gold technique for the obturation of primary teeth. Hence, the main aim of this systematic review is to ind out the best obturation technique among the various obturation techniques that are being used.…”

Obturation Techniques in Primary Teeth using Endoflas as Obturation Material – A Systematic Review

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.

Primary teeth should be preserved until their normal exfoliation time so as to maintain arch length and function in order to provide proper guidance for the eruption of permanent teeth , enhance esthetics and mastication, prevent aberrant tongue habits, aid in speech and prevent the psychological effects associated with tooth loss. Pulpectomy consists of removing the pulp tissue associated with micro-organisms and debris from the canal and obturating with resorbable filling material. Success rate of endodontic therapy depends on many factors like familiarity with the complexity of primary tooth canal systems, their formation and resorption pattern, obturating material as well as obturation technique used that is capable of densely filling the entire root canal system and providing a fluid tight seal from the apical segment of the canal to the cavosurface margin in order to prevent reinfection. This review article basically focuses on various obturating techniques used in deciduous teeth with their comparison, pros and cons.
