<p>Pulpectomy phase of non-surgical root canal therapy<br>Lieutenant Commander David M. Kenee, DC, USN, and Captain James D. Johnson, DC, USN<br><br>INTRODUCTION<br>The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on pulpectomy as a treatment modality. It will present the objectives of therapy and techniques useful in achieving those objectives.<br><br>BACKGROUND<br>Pulpectomy is the surgical removal of all pulp tissue from the root canal system. Regardless of the indication for this procedure, it is incumbent upon the practitioner to assure that this goal is met. If this is accomplished, the remainder of the endodontic therapy will be easier, and post-operative pain and complications will be minimized.
