The primary objective of pulpal treatment is to preserve the integrity and health of the oral tissues. Endodontics in primary teeth is even more challenging because of the anatomic complexities, dynamic alteration at the root apex and close proximity to the succedaneous tooth bud. In this context root canal filling materials assume added importance, which must be resorbable, anti-bacterial and biocompatible in nature. Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) is the most widely used obturating material in primary teeth despite its few drawbacks such as delayed resorption when extruded beyond the apex, deflection in position of underlying successor tooth and its toxicity in periradicular tissues. Thus to overcome such drawbacks, various obturating materials and herbal derivatives have been introduced for pulpal treatment in children. 

Turmeric (Curcumin Longa) is a medicinal herb and has been tested clinically for its antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antimicrobial properties which can be effectively used as an obturating material in primary teeth. The rationale behind the use of Curcumin gel with Endoflas powder is to overcome the disadvantages of Endoflas-eugenol mix.

Thus the present study is undertaken to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of Endoflas, Endoflas powder with Curcumin gel and Pulpdent root canal sealer (ZOE) as obturating materials in primary mandibular molars.
