The advent and progression of various endodontic procedures suited specifically for primary teeth has been at the forefront of this shift.

Pediatric endodontics has seen a paradigm shift from the conventional, aggressive approaches of managing pulpally involved teeth to a biological approach, due to a better understanding of the physiology of pulpal tissue and the biofilm involved in caries progression.

In this approach, not only is the effect treated but also the cause of the pulpal involvement.

This understanding of the process of pulpal involvement has led to the advent of newer techniques and the introduction of newer biocompatible materials with biologically sound protocols to treat the teeth.

This lecture on “Pediatric Endodontics” will provide the audience with a brief overview of several endodontic procedures performed in children, using appropriate diagnostic aids and adhering to a biologically harmonious approach.
