Pre-Op Sessions Flashcards
What are the design objectives?
- Create a continuously tapering funnel shape
- Maintain apical foramen in original position
- Keep apical opening as small as possible
What is the process of a root canal?
- Coronal access to RC system
- RC instrumentation and preparation
- Obturation of RC system
- Coronal seal
- Final restoration
Before treatment what must be done?
take a peri apical radiograph to show all root and 2/3 mm of surrounding tissue
What are the objectives of access cavity prep?
- Remove entire roof allowing complete removal of pulpal tissue
- Allow visulisation of RC entrance
- Produce smooth walled prep with no overhangs
- Allow unimpeded straight line access of instruments
What is the ISO colour codes?
file tip size
White = 15, 45
Yellow = 20, 50
Red = 25, 55
Blue = 30, 60
Green = 35, 70
Black = 40, 80
What are the 3 lengths of ISO instruments?
21, 25, 31mm
What are the files made from?
stainless steel
What length is the cutting flute?
16mm
What is d1?
diameter at the first rake angle
What is the taper of the file?
0.32mm over the 16mm, or 0.02mm per millimetre
What is d2?
tip of the file
What is the diameter of the file at d2?
apical size of the root canal plus 0.32mm.
What is a 02 ISO taper?
It has a diameter of 0.2mm at the D1 level.
Why is a flexible k file advantageous?
Cross-sectionalshapeallows greater flexibility
used in rotation or filing motion
What are the 4 file motions?
- Filing
- Reaming
- Watch-winding
- Balanced Forced Motion
What needle is used for irrigating?
Luer lock syringe
27 gauge endodontic-tipped needle
What technique does the modified flare use?
Uses the balanced force technique
What is the balanced force technique used for
– to enlarge/flare the coronal part of root canal
– to negotiate the narrower apical part of canal
– to flare the apical part of canal by step-back technique
Why is coronal pre flaring done?
– Avoids hydrostatic pressure in canal
– Early removal of heavily contaminated contents
– Improved straight line access to apical 1/3
What is coronal pre flaring?
widen the coronal (top) portion of a root canal.
