NCT04279041

Brief Summary

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.
