Abstract

Preservation of dental arch and its functions is main motive behind pediatric dentistry. The retention of the primary teeth is needed until they are naturally exfoliated. There are several advantages of preserving the natural primary teeth. Primary teeth help in preserving the arch length, play an important role in mastication, esthetics, appearance, speech and act as space maintainers for permanent teeth. Endodontic therapy of primary teeth is considered more challenging and difficult than adult’s teeth due to reasons like behavioral management and anatomic differences between primary and permanent teeth.
