RETREATY: A Fore Player in Non-Surgical Retreatments
The primary objective in endodontics, whether primary treatment or retreatments, is the treatment of apical periodontitis as well as prevention of its recurrence. When we address retreatments, incomplete disinfection of the root canal system is considered as one of the most common causes of post treatment failures. This article will discuss non-surgical retreatment of a […]
Smart ledge crossing with FANTA files
During preparation ledges are inadvertently created and make further instrumentation more difficult as file tips snag in the ledge rather than progressing smoothly to the working length. Stiff instruments or drills will tend to straighten in the curved root canal. Ledges are most likely on the outer curvature either at the primary curvature or apically. […]
Electronic Apex Locator
Successful endodontic treatment depends on the triad of shaping, thorough cleaning and 3- dimensional obturation of tooth within the confines of canals. To achieve this objective the apical constriction must be detected accurately during canal preparation and precise control over working length during the procedure must be maintained. There are many methods of working length […]
