Abstract
Primary teeth should be
preserved until their normal exfoliation time so as to maintain arch length and
function in order to provide proper guidance for the eruption of permanent
teeth, enhance esthetics and mastication, prevent aberrant tongue habits, aid
in speech and prevent the psychological effects associated with tooth loss.
Pulpectomy consists of removing the pulp tissue associated with microorganisms
and debris from the canal and obturating with resorbable filling material.
Success rate of endodontic therapy depends on many factors like familiarity
with the complexity of primary tooth canal systems, their formation and
resorption pattern, obturating material as well as obturation technique used that
is capable of densely filling the entire root canal system and providing a
fluid tight seal from the apical segment of the canal in order to prevent
reinfection. One of the major areas of research in pulpectomy is to discover
new materials for obturation so to have the specific properties similar to
teeth. This article will render the role of many important plants based obturating
materials that can be used in dentistry with their properties, advantages and
disadvantages.
