Abstract
The purpose of the pulp treatment is to make the function of the primary molar in the oral cavity possible for as long as possible until the exfoliation of the tooth or the development of the occlusion is as long as possible. The pulpectomy is a relatively common procedure for the pediatric dentist in the clinic with dental care of the children nowadays. Primary molar is morphologically more susceptible to dental caries than permanent tooth, and the dental pulp treatment is frequently performed. Furthermore, unlike permanent teeth, the root canal has a large degree of curvature and morphological diversity and complexity, careful consideration is needed. Therefore, it is very important to comprehensively understand the morphological characteristics and diversity of the root and root canals for the successful pulp treatment of the primary molars.
Key Words: primary molar;root canal;pulpectomy;
