Two endodontics techniques analysis in primary molars with fistula

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research was to follow the radiolucent area (pixels) in the furcation area and the behavior of the endodontically treated deciduous molars with different simplified echniques. METHODS: The treatments were performed without the duct instrumentation using relative isolation and two drugs were applied, as follows: G1: Guedes-Pinto paste (GP) and G2: CTZ paste (CTZ) for the pulp chamber filling. The radiolucent areas in the furcation region of deciduous molars were obtained from previous x-rays, after 6 and 12 months of the endodontic treatment and was analysed by l Image Tool 3.0 by two blinded examiners. In order to analyse the calibration between the examiners, Kappa test was used and for comparison of the initial radiographic image, analysis of variance was used after 6 and 12 months of each group and Tukey spost-hoc test. T-Student test was used for comparison between groups. RESULTS: There was a reduction of radiolucent area after 6 (p
