Volumetric Assessment of root canal obturation using 3% nano-chitosan versus zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) and iodoform-calcium hydroxide (Metapex), in primary root canals shaped with rotary versus manual methods: A preliminary in-vitro spiral CT study

Background: Currently, cytotoxic materials are used for pulpectomy obturation in primary teeth (mostly ZOE or iodoform-Ca(OH)2 compounds). This study compared the volumetric quality of a new biocompatible/antimicrobial agent (nano-chitosan) against conventional obturation materials. It also compared...
