Brief Summary  
The Principal Investigator will perform the procedure under Standard Operating Protocols. Patients allocated to Group I will be treated using Hand files and Group II will be treated using Kedo nano plus rotary files.
The teeth selected for the study will be isolated using Rubber dam and the pulpectomy procedure will be carried out in primary molars.
The post-operative evaluation of the obturation quality will be done using Modified Coll and Sedrian criteria.
Instrumentation Time will be recorded using stopwatch.
Evaluation of postoperative pain will be done using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale.
Parents/guardians will be instructed to record pain on the scale at 24, 48, and 72 h, which will be given to them along with the patient’s information sheet. All the pain scores will be recorded telephonically and the collection of the Patient information sheet will be done on the subsequent follow up visit. Postoperative instructions will be given.
