ENDODONTIC SEMINAR
FINAL YEAR BDS IIUM 2017/2018, GROUP 4
OUTLINE
• Introduction
• Main objectives of canal preparation
• Preparation techniques
• Techniques for the manipulation of endodontic
shaping instruments.
INTRODUCTION
• The use of mechanical instrumentation is accepted as being one of
the most important steps in root canal treatment.
• It is also recognised as being one of the more difficult practical
challenges in operative dentistry.
• Mechanical shaping must be accompanied by the thorough
irrigation of the resultant space, a concept often referred to as
‘cleaning and shaping’
AIM OF MECHANICAL
INSTRUMENTATION
Mechanical instrumentation aims to prepare the canal space to facilitate disinfection by irrigants
and medicaments
Removal of vital and necrotic tissue from the main root canal(s).
Creation of sufficient space for irrigation and medication.
Preservation of the integrity and location of the apical canal anatomy.
Avoidance of iatrogenic damage to the canal system and root structure.
Facilitation of canal filling.
Avoidance of further irritation and/or infection of the periradicular tissues.
Preservation of sound root dentine to allow long term function of the tooth.
PREPARATION TECHNIQUES
STANDARDISED SYSTEM
STEP-BACK SYSTEM
STEP-DOWN SYSTEM
TECNHIQUE
STANDARDISED SYSTEM Require each instrument, file or reamer, to be
placed to the full working length. The
Canal was enlarged until clean white dentine shavings
were seen on the apical few millimetres of the
instrument.
Filing was continued for a further two or three sizes, to complete
the preparation.
ADVANTAGE Satisfactory in straight canals
