Abstract

Various obturation materials for the root canal of primary teeth are available, but none material that meets as an ideal properties. One of the obturation materials is zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), with various advantages and disadvantages but is still often used. This case report discussed the radiographic evaluation of several cases of using ZOE as an obturation material for primary teeth against the condition of the permanent tooth germs as well as a review of the literature. All cases showed ZOE resorption rate was slower than root resorption, retained, and as a mechanical barrier against the eruption of permanent teeth. ZOE can be considered as a preferred obturation material for primary teeth, but we should reguler evaluate the permanent germ clinically and radiographically
