Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients requiring a pulpectomy procedure of both the sexes and between the age group of 4 and 9 years were included in the study. Patients with necrotic posterior teeth containing at least one necrotic pulp canal, abscess, or sinus tract, radiolucency in the furcation or periapical area, minimum of 2/3rd root structure remaining (confirmed radiographically), sufficient crown structure for rubber dam clamp placement, and crown placement were included.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: fter access cavity preparation and canal orifice location, teeth with only three canals were included in the study. Patients who failed to provide informed consent, with any history of systemic illness, non-restorable posterior teeth, perforated pulpal floor, excessive mobility, pathological root resorption, and teeth with more than three canal orifices were excluded from the current clinical trial.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the impact on Instrumentation time and Quality of obturation after completion of shaping primary molars with adaptive XP-endo Shaper file, Kedo-S pediatric file, and hand K-files.Timepoint: 4 weeks - 8 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To observe whether the adaptive XP-endo Shaper file is advantageous over Kedo-S pediatric file and hand K-file with respect to Instrumentation time and Quality of obturation after completion of shaping primary molars.Timepoint: 4 weeks - 8 weeks
