METHODOLOGY This in vivo study was conducted on 30 primary teeth which were indicated for pulpectomy in the patients of the age group of 5-11 years All experimental teeth had adequate remaining tooth structure for rubber dam isolation and radiographicaly visible canals. Endodontic treatment was required due to irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis. A standardized intraoral periapical radiograph of the tooth was taken using conventional method by paralleling technique. The distance between the source and the tooth, tooth and the films were standardized using X-ray positioning device. RESULT From the results obtained we can conclude that intraoral digital radiography methods of determining the root canal length in primary teeth can be considered reliable and safe in endodontic treatment of children. CONCLUSION The following conclusions were drawn from this present study Intraoral digital radiography also proved to be safest method in determining working length with significant reduction in radiation dosage. Hence this techniques can be safely used as an alternate to conventional radiographic method in determining working length in primary teeth.Read More
