Cleaning and Shaping of the Root Canal System. Part II Edit by Hou Tiezhou 02988088507
Root Canal Instrumentation • Estimate working length • Verify canal patency • Estimate canal size • Establish actual working length
Root Canal Instrumentation Crown down preparation • Coronal third • Middle third • Apical third
Armamentarium Stainless steel size 10 K-files • Used to explore canal patency • Filing or quarter turn pull motion • Do not rotate through 360 degrees
Armamentarium Stainless steel size 15 and 20 K files • Used to establish actual working length
Armamentarium Profile orifice shapers • Used to prepare the coronal one third of the root canal
Armamentarium Profile 0.06 taper rotary files • Used to prepare the middle third
Armamentarium Profile 0.04 taper hand NiTi files • Used to prepare the apical third of the root canal
Estimated Working Length Estimated working length is the distance from the reference point to the radiographic apex, as measured on a parallel preoperative radiograph
Estimated working length • Take a pre-operative parallel radiograph • Clinically, use a XCP film holder
Estimated working length • Length from incisal edge to radiographic apex • Only an estimate because of radiograph distortion
Estimate canal size • Radiographic appearance • Crown/root morphology • Standardized sizes (See table in manual)
Explore Canal Patency • Ensure that canal can be negotiated to radiographic apex • Select #10 K file • Precurve file if necessary
Establish Actual Working length Instrumentation should terminate at: • The apical constriction • 1 mm short of radiographic apex • Actual WL = Estimated WL – 1 mm
Establish actual working length WL can be established using: • Radiographs • Apex locator
Crown-down preparation Plastic incisor with transparent root
Crown-down preparation • Place SS K file into canal until the tip is just visible at the apex
Actual Working Length • Remove file from canal • Subtract 1 mm • This is the actual working length • In this case the WL is 20 mm
Preparation of Coronal Third • The coronal third measurement is WL minus 8 mm, that is 12 mm • Profile OS do not have rubber stops – however the cutting flutes measure 10 mm • The goal is to work the largest OS to 12 mm
Preparation of the coronal third • Rotate OS at 300 rpm Note: Orifice shaper should be rotating at 300 rpm before it is placed in the canal • Advance the OS in 1 mm increments • When resistance is encountered retract OS while still rotating • Never force any instrument apically
Preparation of coronal third Blue (#60) OS extends to approx. 9 mm
Preparation of coronal third Irrigation! Irrigation! Irrigation!
Preparation of coronal third Gold (#50) OS reaches 12 mm
Preparation of coronal third • Progress from larger to smaller orifice shaper • Each smaller OS will extend further into canal • Repeat the sequence until the largest OS extends to 12 mm
Preparation of coronal third Blue (#60) OS extend to WL – 8 mm = 12 mm
Preparation of Middle Third Profile 0.06 taper series 29 rotary files
Preparation of Middle Third • Profile 0.06 taper series 29 rotary files • The middle third measurement is WL minus 4 mm, that is 16 mm • The aim is to work the brown (#7) file to 16 mm
Preparation of Middle Third • Proceed from larger to smaller file • Each smaller file will extend further into the canal • Repeat the sequence until the largest file extends to 16 mm
