Background: The complete debridement of primary teeth is very difficult because of canal morphology and the proximity of the succedaneous tooth. Therefore, the obturating material should be biocompatible and eliminate these residual pathogens. The present study was conducted to compare the different obturating systems in primary teeth. Material and methods: The present study was conducted among children attending the department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry and those attending as a part of school dental health programs. 80 Healthy children with at least one primary anterior tooth in mandibular arch indicated for pulpectomy of age 5-9 years were included in the study. The clinical procedure was explained to the parent or guardian. Pulpectomy was performed in all teeth indicated for pulp therapy. Based on technique of obturation, patients were divided into two groups. Group I: forty teeth obturated with lentulospiral technique. Group II: forty teeth obturated with pressure syringe. The comparison among the two techniques was determined radiographically by evaluating quality of obturation and voids in the obturated canals. Assessment of radiographs was done by different examiner who was unaware of the technique used for the obturation. Statistical Analysis Data collected were statistically analysed using SPSS 21 software. Chi-square test was applied to compare the obturating techniques. Results: In the present study total sample size was 80 in which group I(n=40) was obturated with lentulospiral and Group II(n=40) was obturated with pressure syringe. In Group I 10% were underfilled, 70% teeth were optimal filled and 20% teeth were overfilled. Voids were present in 52.5% teeth. In group II 17.5% were underfilled, 55% teeth were optimal filled and 27.5% teeth were overfilled. Voids were present in 22.5% teeth. Conclusion: Our study concluded that canals obturated with lentulospiral were maximum optimally filled. But voids in obturation was less with pressure syringe.
