the step-back technique
Telescopic or serial root canal preparation
The drawing clearly shows the tapered root canal preparation that is formed
by this procedure.
This simultaneously prevents blockage of the apical canal by dentin chips and
verifies accessibility to the apical constriction.
K files are used exclusively in this preparation technique.
In the step-back technique,
and then the coronal portion is shaped.
The first file that binds in the canal at the working length is considered (the
initial apical file IAF).
The root canal filling procedure starts with the selection of the gutta- percha master
point.
Before the gutta- percha master point is tried in the canal, a suitable spreader is selected.

The primary point is carried fully to place to within 1
mm of the “apical stop.”
Excess in the crown is severed at the cervical with a hot
instrument.
The spreader is inserted to the full depth, allowed to remain 1
full minute as gutta-percha is compacted laterally and
somewhat apically.
A master point is selected that
allows a friction fit in the
apical portion of the root
canal.
When this is marked it is
called 'tug back' (like pulling
a dart out of a dart board).
This may be difficult to
achieve with small size gutta-
percha points; therefore, it is
usual to accept a friction fit in
narrow canals.
A point one size larger than

If it is not possible to place
