In-vitro and In-vivo Comparative Evaluation of Rotary Fanta and Zunba Files in Root Canal Preparation of Infected Primary Molars

In-vitro and In-vivo Comparative Evaluation of Rotary Fanta and Zunba Files in Root Canal Preparation of Infected Primary Molars

Adequate shaping and cleaning, followed by a good coronal seal, are prerequisites for a favorable outcome. The goal of root canal preparation is to create optimized canal geometry to allow effective irrigation and obturation with preservation of the original canal morphology.

The aim of current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Fanta and Zunba rotatory instruments in cleaning of infected root canal of primary molars to those instrumented with manual K-files.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The extension of radiolucency at the furcation area did not exceed half of the space between the furcation and the permanent successor
• No internal root resorption
• External root resorption (Physiologic or pathologic) limited to apical third and with at least two-third root intact

Exclusion Criteria:

• Uncooperativeness of child and/or parents or caregiver's behavior.
