Files in UBC cassette
6-20 steel K-files
debride all canals to working length


15-25 : FlexSSK K-files

non-active tip and more flexible working part to minimize the risk of ledging and transportation
Types of Filing Motions
reaming
turn and pull
watch winding
watch winding and pull
peripheral filing
Reaming
Reaming is a clockwise or right hand rotation of the preparation instrument
instrument separation may be elevated with this motion
turn and pull
The turn and pull motion is a one quarter turn right with a straight outward pull

The size of the arrow indicates the magnitude of force

There is more force on the outward pull
watch winding
Watch winding involves a gentle right and left rocking motion with a light inward pressure
watch winding and pull
This motion is like the previous watch winding but indicates a pull with the withdraw of the instrument
The force begins when rotation is cease and the instrument is pulled out
peripheral filing
Peripheral filing is done at the final preparation stage to ensure the taper of the root canal as well as the uniform and flow
balanced force technique
one fourth - one half turn clockwise
one fourth - one half turn counter clockwise (while maintaining pressure)
after 2-4 turn if not yet reach WL, rotate out of the canal by 1-2 noncutting clockwise rotation combined with pulling. final clockwise cleaning rotation: 2-3 full circles at WL
Hedstroem files
for push and pull motion

not to be used with rotation and allowed to bind to dentin

should be one size smaller than the size of canal at WL,

for polishing use
FLEXNTK Files:
comes in size 15-60

UBC use 30 and on

check for asymmetry
UBC file cassettes
6-10 K-files

15-25 flexSSK k-files (non-active tips)

30-60 FlexNTK files (active tip)
sealer
ROTH

zinc-oxide and eugenol


Thermaseal (AH+) : epoxy resin based
Maxillary central incisor
round
99% one canal but review for variation: invagination, gemination
Maxillary lateral incisor
usually one canal and one root

round

dilacerate distally (palatally or labially)
dens invaginatus common
lingual radicular groove: provides a pathway for salivary leakage to the root apex
Maxillary canine
one canal and one root

dilacerates distally

longest and strongest root

oval
Max first premolar
two roots two canals usually

root tips fine - may result in perforation in a straight canal if a large apical open size is attempted

one canal (10-20%), three canals (1%)
Max 2nd premolar
single root
can have two canals join ( class II or class III)
Max first molar
canals:
4 80%
3
5

palatal, distobuccal, mesiobuccal

often fail because missed one fo the mesiobuccal (which should be straight...1-3mm lingual to MB1)

palatal root often curved buccally at the apex
Max second molar
most variation
Mand central incisor
1-80%
2-41.4%
flattened canal

missed often lingual canal
Mand Lateral incisor
1-2mm longer root than incisor

distal dilaceration
Mand canine
oval
2 canals in one root - 20%
root tip curve distally/labially sometimes, but most often straight root
Mand first premolar
1-70%,
2-30%
Mand 2nd premolar
one canal, sometimes have lingual canal

molarization more frequent than first premolar, but still rare
Mand first molar
4 - 60%
3 - 39%
5 - 1%

distal root - often 2 canals
mesial root - usually 2 canals, sometimes three, rarely 1
Mand 2nd molar
3 - 60%
4 - 40%
likely to have fuse or C shape
susceptible to vertical root fractures
Max adn mand third molars
large variation
What are 2 reasons why there would be a variation in the WL?
1. Root resorption,--WL may be 1.5 to 2.0 mm short of radiographic apex
2. Increased cementum deposition—in elderly pts, causes WL to be 1-2mm short of the apex
debridement
instrumentation and irrigation
instrumentation
planning all walls to loosen debris
Irrigation
flushing debris from root canal
Minimum MAF file
30
Minimum PWL film file
15 (in order to see on radiograph)
Coronal half preparation
1. Take a #35 file and place it passively into the root canal
2. If it advances ½ way up the root canal w/o interference, give it a quarter or half turn and remove it from the canal
or
3. Take a #2 Gates Glidden burr and place it spinning into the canal to the distance the #35 file was placed
4. Irrigate
5. Repeat with #3 and #4 bur
step back and recapitulation
1. Used a file 1 size larger than the MAF and instrument it ½ mm short of the WL
a. Place instrument to length,
b. give ¼ turn in clockwise direction
c. remove and clean debris
d. reinsert to length, & file peripherally
e. irrigate with @ least 1 ml irrigant
2. Return to the MAF file and instrument back to WL to loosen debris @ apex
3. Repeat step ** with the next larger file until a total of 3-5 successive files are used, each instrumented 1/2mm shorter than the preceding file

- if MAF can't go in, use a size 10 file to clean the debris
crown down technique
min PWL file #20

SX : proceed - resistance - withdraw 0.5mm - proceed - resistance - withdraw

40 profile vortex - proceed - resistance - withdraw 0.5mm - advance 1mm - withdraw
(repeat with all size file:)

40 (1/2 - 2/3 WL
35 (2/3 - 3/4 WL)
30 (3/4 - 4/5 WL)
25 (4/5 - full WL)
20 FULL

instrumentation of WL to at least size 30
Hybrid technique
crown down and step-back
if size 35 or 40 vortex goes full WL, use step back to prepare apical third.
Criteria for determining end point to CLEANING
1. glassy, smooth walls
2. clean dentin shavings
3. clean irrigating solution
criteria for determining end point to SHAPING
1. apical matrix: at least 3 sizes greater than the first one to bind at WL

2. flare is sufficient to allow penetration of the D11 and D11T to within 1-2mm of WL alongside the master cone seated to WL.
