Advanced research on root canal therapy for primary teeth

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2020.02.016

Abstract

Abstract:

Primary tooth root canal therapy is a treatment performed on primary teeth diagnosed with pulpitis or periapical periodontitis. This procedure requires perfect instrumentation, disinfection, and filling of root canals to eliminate infection, control inflammation, relieve pain, prevent pathological effects on inherited permanent tooth, and prolong primary tooth preservation. This paper reviews the research history on primary tooth root canal treatment and summarizes the progress on primary tooth root canal treatment, including anatomical morphology, root canal preparation, root canal disinfection, root canal filling, and application of antibiotics.

Key words: primary tooth, root canal therapy, root canal anatomy, Ni-Ti rotary instrumentation, root canal filling material
