pulpectomy, retained primary molars
Brief summary
The goal of this single arm clinical trial was to to explore the clinical feasibility and radiographic outcome of the injectable bioceramic sealer as an obturation material for primary molars with congenitally missing permanent successors. The main question it aimed to answer was: Does injectable bioceramic sealers can be used as an obturation material for primary molars with congenitally missing permanent successors? Researchers used a commercially available bioceramic sealer as a sole obturation material for pulpectomized primary molars with congenitally missing permanent successors Eligible participants underwent pulpectomy treatment and followed up at 3,6,12 and 24 months postoperatively to evaluate clinical and radiographic success.
Interventions
the root canals were obturated solely with Ceraseal bioceramic sealer
