Abstract:
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the apical debris extrusion of Baby Fanta files in root canals of primary molars.
Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 30 second primary molars that were randomly divided into two groups:
Group (1): 15 primary molars were prepared using Baby Fanta Preparation System.
Group (2): 15 primary molars were prepared using the K-file manual preparation system.
The apical debris were collected within Eppendorf according to the example of work described by Myers and Montgomery.The samples were weighed with a 1/10000 g weighing machine, where three measurements were taken and the average readings were adopted
Results: The results showed that there was no statistical difference in terms of apical debris extrusion between manual and Baby Fanta preparation system, but the arithmetic mean of the apical debris extrusion in the Baby Fanta preparation system (0.0067 g) was less than manual preparation system (0.0091 g).
Conclusion: All systems used in this study were associated with apical debris extrusion.
