Evaluation of the effect of using electrosurgery in pulpectomy of deciduous teeth on succedaneous teeth: an animal study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the probable side effects of electrosurgery in pulpectomy of deciduous teeth on succedaneous teeth in dogs.

Materials And Methods: In this animal study, all maxillary and mandibular teeth at one side of five puppies' mouths were treated employing electrosurgical pulpectomy and were then compared with those of the other side treated using the conventional method. The electrosurgical dental electrode was placed in canals to the point of working length for the experimental group.
