Apical periodontitis is a local inflammatory response which due to the presence of microorganisms within an infected root canal system1. One of the main goals in endodontics is to be able to prevent this infectious disease or, in cases it already happened with consequences in the periapical tissues, create conditions to a good periapical healing2. […]

SmartEndo Kit is the perfect choice for endodontic treatment  

DepplerSmartEndo Kit is a complet set of hand instrument for daily Endodontic treatment.  

In cases of long roots, the filling procedure can often be difficult especially for the cone fit step, in which gutta-percha cones can be shorter than the working length.

Nice and smooth shaping made with our selection of FANTA files. The restoration was done with a 3D printed overlay.

Root perforations are characterized by a communication between the root canal system and the external tooth surface. They are caused by a pathological process or an operative procedural accident. When iatrogenic, they can occur during access cavity opening, root canal preparation or during post preparation. Root perforation needs to be diagnosed early and treated appropriately as soon as possible, since they may cause an inflammatory […]

Here is a demonstration of how Fanta F-One essential kit should be used.

IrriFlex® has appeared on the market to change our current irrigation protocols. Its main advantages like its flexibility, its ability to reach the apical part of the root canal system adapting to any curvature, its size and its simplicity to use it have made from this needle a revolution in disinfection if compared to traditional […]

 A more reflecting practical definition of non surgical retreatment by Car was described as a procedure performed on teeth that received failed prior attempts at definitive root canal treatment, requiring further endodontic therapy to achieve a successful result. Mishaps as missed canal, ledges, incomplete filling or even loss of coronal seal can lead to root […]

Negotiation, glide path, and preflaring are essential steps in root canal shaping. They always must be associated to a good debris removal in order to avoid accidental canal blockage or apical extrusion of debris. For this reason, a deep irrigation should be achieved since the first steps of a root canal treatment. Adequate cleaning, shaping, and […]

This article is the second part of our review to determine if rotary files should only be used once. In our first article looking at the mechanical properties of rotary files, it was determined that: Surface changes are seen on a microscopic level after a few uses or after several sterilization cycles, but that these […]

Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy was first used for endodontic files by Walia in 1988 (1) as an alternative to stainless steel for hand files.  The first Ni-Ti rotary files came to the market a few years later in the early 1990s.  These new instruments revolutionized root canal therapy but also greatly increased the cost of material […]
