A New Era in Treatment of Non - Vital Primary Molars: One Year Follow-up Study

Baydaa Rawi

Background: Pulpectomy is a root canal procedure for pulp tissue that is irreversibly infected or necrotic due to caries or trauma.
Aims: The aim of this study is to apply blood clot technique for non-vital deciduous molars. Clinical and radiographical evaluations were carried out after 6 and 12 months.
Materials and Methods: Twenty non vital primary molars from twenty children were involved in this study. The root canals are disinfected using triple antibiotic paste. Resembling to blood clot techniques carried out for non vital immature permanent tooth, blood clot created in root canal by by over instrumentation, and put sterile cotton pellet at the canal orifice wait 15 min for blood to clot. MTA barrier placed over blood clot about over the root orifices. The tooth then is restored with a restoration that seals the tooth from microleakage. Clinical and radiographical Follow ups carried out after 6 and 12 months.
Results: All of cases have shown good clinical outcomes good radiographic evidences of absence of apical radiolucency and no root resorption.
Conclusions: The blood clot technique considered to be the easier method of regenerative endodontics that could be carried out for primary and permanent non vital teeth.
