Which one of the following treatment procedures is not carried out for deciduous teeth?

Pulpectomy is a treatment procedure typically reserved for permanent teeth rather than deciduous (primary) teeth. The primary goal of treating deciduous teeth is to maintain their function until they naturally exfoliate and are replaced by permanent teeth.

While procedures such as fillings, extractions, and even crown placements can be performed on deciduous teeth to address various dental issues, pulpectomy involves the complete removal of the pulp tissue and is more commonly indicated for non-vital permanent teeth, especially when there is significant decay or infection. In primary teeth, if the pulp is affected, a more conservative approach like a pulpotomy may be considered instead. This distinction makes it clear why pulpectomy is not a standard procedure for deciduous teeth.
