Response - NO
Brief Summary   Endodontic treatment in primary teeth is challenging especially during biomechanical preparation of root canals. An efficient chemo-mechanical preparation is essential for effective canal disinfection and thereby contributes to the access of the endodontic procedure. Conventionally, hand files are used for cleaning and shaping and are time-consuming. Rotary instrumentation in pediatric dentistry is an emerging concept. A very few studies have compared the efficiency of rotary instrumentation for canal preparation in primary teeth. Thus the present study is undertaken to evaluate the cleaning efficacy of manual K-files, manual H-files and Kedo-S Square single file rotary system in primary teeth based on microbial estimation.
