ABSTRACT
The prime objective in pediatric dentistry is to maintain primary teeth in the oral cavity till exfoliation.
Endodontic
treatment, being less invasive is a viable choice in children. Various obturating materials are used in the
primary
teeth like, zinc oxide eugenol, calcium hydroxide, KRI, iodoform, metapex, vitapex, endoflas etc.
However, none
of the material has all the qualities of an ideal obturating material. Zinc oxide eugenol is the most widely
used in
the primary teeth, however it resorbs at a slower rate than that of the root and is known to cause
irritation to the
periapical tissue. Calcium hydroxide and iodoform resorbs faster than that of the root hence it gives a
hollow like
effect. Whereas Endoflas which is a combination of calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide eugenol and iodoform,
resorbs
periapically at a similar rate as that of root. Our case report shows that Endoflas when overextruded
resorbs periapically
and intraradicularly without causing any irritation to the periapical area. The intraradicular resorption of
Endoflas is
a novel finding.
