Abstract Background Although reciprocating instrumentation has been extensively studied for permanent teeth, stronger evidence its use in primary teeth is lacking. Aim The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the efficacy endodontic treatment molars using (RECIP) and manual (MAN) techniques after 24 months. Design Primary with indication were randomly divided into two groups: MAN RECIP. Treatments performed, root canals filled calcium hydroxide iodoform paste. Teeth later restored bulk‐fill composite resin re‐evaluated 6, 12, 18, outcome success evaluated by Cox regression analysis adjusted cluster rate months intention‐to‐treat (ITT) population. Instrumentation time, discomfort, postoperative pain, quality canal filling also as secondary endpoints. Results A total 151 win 107 children included, 137 followed up Success allocated group 57.3% 55.3% RECIP ( p = .792); instrumentation, however, more time‐consuming .005). Conclusion similar
