Endodontic canal preparation: innovations in glide path management and shaping canals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
prepared when shaping files have a reproducible and sufficiently-sized pathway to follow. The secret to shaping success is glide path management (GPM), which may be thought of as procedures directed toward "securing" canals. Any portion of any canal is termed secured when a small-sized flexible hand file can reproducibly slip, slide, and glide through a catheterized canal.1 Similar to a cardiac surgeon performing coronary angioplasty, dentists insert and slide a small-sized, flexible file through the length of a root canal to verify a smooth reproducible pathway exists for shaping files to follow.

The ability of Reciproc instruments to reach full working length without glide path preparation: a clinical retrospective study
BACKGROUND Reciproc instruments are the only contemporary root canal instruments where glide path preparation is no longer strictly demanded by the manufacturer. As the complete preparation of root canals is associated with success in endodontic treatment we wanted to assess the ability and find predictors for Reciproc instruments to reach full working length (RFWL) in root canals of maxillary ...

AIM To investigate physical parameters for ProTaper nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments whilst preparing curved canals in maxillary molars in vitro. METHODOLOGY A novel torque-testing platform was used to prepare root canals in 15 extracted human maxillary molars with ProTaper rotary instruments. Peak torque and force was registered along with numbers of rotations required to shape the ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of establishing glide path on the centering ability and preparation time of two single-file reciprocating systems in mesial root canals of mandibular molars. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty extracted mandibular molars with curvatures of 25-39 degrees and separate foramina for the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals, were divi...

Background. The present study aimed to compare the shaping ability of Reciproc Blue instruments with or without the creation of a glide path in simulated S-shaped root canals. Methods. Root canals of thirty #15.02 clear resin S-shaped blocks were dyed using ink and photographed. Then the blocks were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A: Reciproc Blue with glide path created with ProGlider an...
متن کاملPathFileTM: A New Rotary Nickel-Titanium Instrument for Mechanical Glide Path and Preflaring
NiTi instrument separation is a serious concern in endodontic therapy. The analysis of NiTi files after torsional fracture reveals that the majority of torsional separations occur in the last mm. of the files and in the files with lower taper and/ or diameter. Consequentely, the tip of the smaller files presents the higher risk of torsional fracture and should be protected using low torque moto...
