Aim: To determine postoperative pain after root canal instrumentation using manual K-file and rotary Kedo-S files in primary molars. Material and Method: Thirty-six primary mandibular molars from 4- to 8-year-old children requiring pulpectomy were randomly split into two groups of 18 teeth each, that is, manual file K-file (Group I) and Kedo-S rotary file (Group II). Children’s pre- and postoperative pain was assessed using a four-point scale at different time intervals. Results: From the result of the present study, it was observed that the Kedo-S group showed significantly less pain after 24, 48, and 72 h. Conclusion: It was concluded from the present research that patients enrolled in the Kedo-s group experienced less pain.

Aim: To determine the clinical and radiographical success of pulpectomy treated teeth by comparing two different file systems using manual (K –file) and paediatric rotary file (Kedo-S). Methods: Fifty subjects were selected for pulpectomy procedure in the age group of 3 to 6 years divided into two groups, group A(25 sample size) pulpectomy performed using k-file AND group B( 25 sample size) where the pedo rotary kedo-S file system was used. Follow-up was done at 3, 6 and 9 months. Both clinical as well as radiographic signs and symptoms were evaluated and analysed by using Fisher Exact –test.. Results: The success rate for clinical evaluation found to be 100% with Kedo-S rotary files whereas it was 92% using K-files. The success rate for radiographical evaluation found to be 100% using Kedo-S rotary files for both periapical and furcation radiolucency while 92% for the root resorption. In case of K- files, both periapical and furcation radiolucency was found to be 92% while 80% was root resorption after a 9 month follow-up. After statistical analysis of both the file systems at 3, 6 and 9 months follow-up, the findings came as insignificant(p>0.05). Conclusion: Although the result of clinical and radiographical evaluation after respective follow-up was not that much clear by the present study but the success rate of pulpectomy treated cases was found to be 100% with Kedo-S pedo rotary file. Keywords: Pulpectomy, K-files, Kedo-S files.

Background: Ideal pulpectomy for primary dentition demands fast, simple procedures, with short treatment times and minimal appointments. Recently, exclusive pediatric rotary files are available for use in primary teeth. There is a paucity of literature on the clinical efficacy of pediatric rotary files. Hence, this study was planned to evaluate and compare pediatric rotary files and K-files. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare instrumentation time, obturation time, and radiographic quality of obturation using rotary systems (Kedo-S; Pro-AF Baby GOLD files) and manual (K-files) technique in primary molar pulpectomies. Materials and Methods: Forty-five primary mandibular molars from 42 children aged 5–9 were selected. Single-visit pulpectomy was performed after dividing selected teeth into three equal groups: (i) K-files, (ii) Kedo-S files, (iii) Pro-AF Baby GOLD files. Instrumentation and obturation times were recorded during the procedure. Immediate postoperative radiographs were taken and evaluated later for obturation quality by two independent evaluators blinded to the instrumentation technique. The results were then statistically analyzed. Results: Kedo-S (Group II) files required the least instrumentation time followed by Pro-AF (Group III) and K-files (Group I). The superior quality of obturation in lesser time was achieved using Pro-AF files (Group III) followed by Kedo-S (Group II) and K-files (Group I). Conclusion: Pediatric rotary files are efficient alternatives to hand instrumentation and can be considered as the standard of care in pulpectomies of primary teeth.
