Abstract:
TOPIC: Shaping and Cleaning Strategies for an Ultimate & Predictable Outcome
Shaping and Cleaning have for long been seen as two distinct entities that a clinician performs.
This presentation would provide a concept of an adequate working width that can be achieved with newer generation rotary endodontic files that would accomplish shapes that facilitate adequate fluid dynamics in the critical apical third of the root canal. The final deep shape that a file needs to achieve has to be in sync with the endodontic irrigation protocols.
An overview of clinical protocols that would enhance predictable outcomes would also be highlighted.
