Rotary Endodontics In Pediatric Dentistry

Rotary endodontics in pediatric dentistry is a modern technique that uses nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary files for root canal procedures in primary teeth. Compared to traditional manual methods, rotary systems offer faster treatment, improved cleaning, and greater precision-especially important for children with limited tolerance for long dental visits. Pediatric-specific rotary systems, like Kedo-S, are designed to accommodate the unique anatomy of primary teeth, such as thinner roots and curved canals. These tools help reduce chair time, enhance patient cooperation, and improve treatment outcomes. However, they require proper training, careful case selection, and attention to safety to avoid complications like instrument fracture. When used appropriately, rotary endodontics enhances efficiency and comfort in managing pediatric dental infections and preserving primary teeth.
