Abstract
Purpose: to assess the use of Zinc oxide and Eugenol, Endoflas and Plant flavonoid (hesperidin) as obturating materials in pulpectomy of primary molars by using clinical, radiographical and microbiological evaluation. Material and Methods:(In vivo study) a number of 90 primary teeth indicated for pulpectomy were divided equally into three groups according to the root canal obturating material. Group I (30 teeth) (control group) obturated with Zinc oxide and Eugenol material. Group II (30 teeth) obturated with Endoflas material. Group III (30 teeth) obturated with hesperidin extract and Zinc oxide material. A periapical radiograph was taken for each treated molar immediately postoperative, after 3 and after 6months. Clinical and radiographic follow-up for success and failure was performed. The three obturating materials were evaluated against Enterococcus faecalis by using agar diffusion method. Results: after 6 months: Group II (Endoflas group) reported the highest success rate (100%), followed by Group I (ZnO/Eugenol group) (76.7%), with the least success value recorded in Group III (Hesperidin group) (60%). Conclusions: Endoflas material is a good alternative to ZnO/Eugenol in pulpectomy of primary molars.
