Q

Why might it be wise to access without a RD?

A
  • Ensure correct toth
  • Visulize long axis - facilitate correct approach
23
Q

How do you arrive at an appropriate working length?

A
  • Estimate
  • Radiogaph (0.5 - 1.0 mm)
  • Tactile sense
  • Electronic Apex Locator
  • Paper Point
  • Patient Sensation
24
Q

What is the average surface to constriction?

What is the aerage deviation major to apex?

A
  • Avg to constriction 0.75
  • Avg deviation major to apex 0.59
25
Q

Describe this picture…

A

Major foramen is larger than minor formaen at constriction - looking from the external root surface apex

26
Q

Describe how a Root ZX works?

A
  • “Ratio method”
  • Simultaneously measures impedance of two different frequencies, calculates the quotient of the impedances, and expresses this quotient as a position of the file inside the root canal
  • No calibration required
  • Small files and large files yield similar readings
  • Rootz ZX identifies narrowest canal diameter even wen an anatomic apical constriciton did not exist of was destoryed by instrumentation
27
Q

What are the objectives of Cleaning & Shaping?

A
  • Total removal of content of pulp space (tissue, debris, bacteria, byproducts)
  • Develop straight line access to apical region
  • Maintain central axis of canal
  • Keep apical constriction small and in original position
  • Continuously tapering, smooth, funnel-shaped preparation
