What material is used for a pulpectomy?

ZOE Fill
Amalgam
Composite Resin
Glass Ionomer

The correct answer is: ZOE Fill

A pulpectomy is a dental procedure commonly used to treat an infected or damaged pulp in a tooth. During this procedure, the infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. ZOE (zinc oxide eugenol) fill is a commonly used filling material for pulpectomies because it has antibacterial properties and helps to soothe the dental pulp. This option is correct because it specifically mentions a material used for pulpectomies. The other options, such as amalgam, composite resin, and glass ionomer, are not typically used for pulpectomies. Amalgam is a silver filling material commonly used for cavities, composite resin is a tooth-colored filling material, and glass ionomer is a type of cement used for fillings. Therefore, these options are incorrect for the question at hand.
