Successful pulpectomy in primary teeth requires a balance between biological principles, anatomical awareness, and efficient instrumentation techniques. With the evolution of pediatric endodontics, rotary systems have emerged as a valuable tool to enhance canal debridement, reduce chair time, and improve treatment quality—particularly in young or uncooperative patients. However, safe and effective use of rotary instrumentation in primary teeth demands a clear understanding of root morphology, resorption patterns, and age-related anatomical variations. This workshop explores the fundamentals and clinical applications of rotary endodontics in primary teeth, emphasizing case selection, biomechanical preparation principles, and prevention of procedural errors. Participants will examine the advantages and limitations of rotary systems compared to conventional hand instrumentation, with special focus on preserving radicular dentin and maintaining working length accuracy.
