The success rate of Endoflas powder mixed with Curcumin gel as obturating material in Primary Molars: Case- Series.
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Important requisites of an obturating material for primary teeth are that it should resorb at the same rate as the roots of a primary tooth, should be harmless to the periapical tissue and permanent tooth germ, resorb readily if pushed beyond the apex and must be easy to fill and remove as and when necessary. Nowadays herbal products are being recommended for use in dentistry because of their safety, efficacy, cultural acceptability and lesser side effects. Turmeric (Curcumin Longa), is a medicinal herb with bactericidal properties like anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, thus it can be used as obturating material in primary teeth. Aims and objectives: To determine the efficacy of Endoflas powder mixed with Curcumin gel as obturating material in primary teeth. Materials and Methods: 4 primary molars indicated for pulpectomy in 4 children (4-9 year-old) were selected.After biomechanical preparation,the four primary molars were obturated with Endoflas powder mixed with Curcumin gel and its efficacy was evaluated both clinically and radiographically at 1 month and 3-month intervals. Conclusion: The Endoflas powder mixed with Curcumin gel showed faster resorption of the over pushed material within 1week, also showed a decrease in inter-radicular radiolucency after 1month and maintained until 3month follow-up.
