简要总结
This 6-month clinical study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Maratha Mandal’s Nathajirao G. Halgekar Institute of Dental Sciences, Belagavi, to evaluate two obturation techniques in primary teeth using Endoflas as the obturating material. Forty-eight children aged 4–8 years were selected based on specific clinical and radiographic inclusion criteria and randomly assigned into two groups (n=24 each). All procedures were performed by a single investigator under standardized protocols
Group A (control) Hand-held lentulospiral technique.
Group B(Test) Indirect ultrasonic vibration technique.
The quality of obturation was assessed radiographically using Coll and Sadrian’s modified criteria (underfilling, optimal filling, overfilling) by two blinded examiners.
Conventional lentulospiral methods are technique-sensitive and prone to underfilling, voids, or overfilling due to air entrapment and uncontrolled pressure. The ultrasonic vibration method aimed to improve material compaction and reduce such errors. Radiographic assessment was chosen as a reliable, non-invasive method for evaluating obturation quality in children.
This study highlights the potential of advanced obturation techniques to achieve more consistent and optimal fillings in primary root canals compared to traditional methods.
