Pulpectomy, retention, obturationAbstract
Pulpectomy is the preferred treatment option to preserve primary teeth with pulpal necrosis or irreversible pulpitis.1 Primary teeth guide the eruption of permanent teeth and
act as natural space maintainers in the dental arch.2 Primary teeth also aid in chewing, prevent speech problems and aberrant tongue movement, improve aesthetics, and prevent psychological effects due to premature tooth loss. The retention of primary teeth is therefore of paramount importance.3 Pulpectomy treatment in primary molars is challenging due to complex internal anatomy and morphology, and due to the process of physiological root resorption.4 The outcome and overall success of pulpectomies are often considered unpredictable and depend on various treatment and patient-related factors.5 Dental practitioners might therefore refrain from performing these treatments despite the importance of preserving primary teeth.
