cleaning and shaping the root canal system- what are we trying to achieve
maintain healthy periodontal tissues or create environment that will create bony healing
1 of 59
how do we create an environment that will create bony healing?
cleaning/ disinfection: removal of organic pulp debris, microorganisms and toxins
shaping: controlled removal dentine to produce a tapering shape that can be disinfected and sealed throughout its length with a root canal filling (gutta percha)

when does sheer fracture occur?
Occurs when the tip or other part of the instrument binds to the canal wall, whereas the hand piece keeps rotating the instrument
21 of 59
what is flexural fracture caused by?
Caused by continuous rotation in curved canals
Instrument is subjected to tension and compression cycles at point of maximum flexure

what are the advantages of file taper (variable taper)
: each file preferentially cuts a certain part of the canal
Much less likely to have the file stick in the canal (taper- lock) and fracture.

what you using the SX ProTaper gold and flooding the canal with sodium hypochlorite.. what do you do
• Using a 10 stainless steel flexofile negotiate the canal
• Place a rubber stop at tooth length
• Coat SX file in Glyde (a paste lubricant) and go down the canal
NEVER USE FORCE could create a ledge- use envelope of motion
Or drop down to 08 or 06 file

29 of 59
when do you use paste lubricants
Only use with stainless steel files during initial canal negotiation + glide path creation
30 of 59
how can you determine the working length
can be done radiographically or electronically (electronic apex locator)
31 of 59
where should preparation end? when determining working length
Preparation should end at the junction of pulpal and periapical tissue
WL should be as close as possible to CDJ
This is usually the narrowest part of the canal- apical constriction

This is usually the narrowest part of the canal- apical constriction
32 of 59
how do you use electronic apex locators?
- The EAL is connected by a wire to the lower lip and to a file which is placed in the root canal. Important that the access cavity has no excess irrigant in it but there is irrigant within the canal itself
The impedance between the lip and the pdl is a
The impedance between the lip and the pdl is a

when finding out the WL from a radiograph, what is considered an acceptable measurement
- Acceptable to be within 1mm of radiographic apex
34 of 59
why is glide path so important?
- Gives information about canal morphology: open, restricted or calcified canals + root canal anatomy
- creates or conforms a smooth reproducible path of adequate diameter before introducing rotary files
- creates or conforms a smooth reproducible path of adequate diameter before introducing rotary files
35 of 59
what is an Endodontic glide path?
a pre-existing part of the original anatomy- natural space once occupied by the dental pulp
it may be irregular in many teeth especially in the apical 1/3 of the root
care must be taken to follow the natural path of the canal

care must be taken to follow the natural path of the canal
36 of 59
what is the glide path preparation techniques?
1. locate the canal orifice
2. follow canal to apical constriction using a size 10 flexofile- this guarantees patency at the apical foramen which is a prerequisite for a successful glide path, record WL, confirm patency
3. use short push pull strokes un

Always instrument in wet canals using irrigant (sodium hypochlorite) as a lubricant when using rotary files. why?
• This will help prevent file breakage and avoid the accumulation of dentine dust that can potentially block the canal
39 of 59
what are important guidelines for safe use of rotary instrumentation?
- Constant speed of rotation with torque control- use correct speed and torque for each file
- Irrigation before engaging file (canals must be very wet)
- Light pressure and progress slowly, withdraw when resistance is felt and clean any debris on its fl

40 of 59
what are factors preventing passive movement of file
• Insufficient glide path- so file struggling to open up canal
• Build-up of debris within canal due to the dust and debris from the file as it cuts
• Build-up of debris on flutes of file
• Complicated root canal anatomy

- Irrigate, recapitulate, irrigate (size 10 flexofile)
- Shape with S2 (300rpm, 4Ncm) brush on outward stoke. Follow and brush

Why is apical preparation carried out?what is the process called
out to determine the diameter of the canal at the AC and to finish the canal preparation to this size. (equal to or slightly larger)
This is carried out using a process called apical gauging
This is carried out using a process called apical gauging
43 of 59
what happens at finishing stage?
use F1 (300rpm 4Ncm) to WL then place in RC. Once the file has gone to WL we withdraw it and not let it rotate as it can destroy the apical constriction. Irrigate canal then:gauge with size 20 flexofile (this is the equivalent ** file, we set it to WL and
44 of 59
how do we check that a flexofile is snug at length?
• If size 20 flexofile is snug at length (by tapping the handle of the file if the handle stays in the same position and we know the tip of the file is equal to or slightly larger than diameter of apical constriction and that’s our shaping carried out. If
