Q

Used to remove temporary filling materials (Cavit, IRM) from the access.

16
Q

How are canals blocked with dentin treated differently than those blocked with soft tissue?

A

Use bleach AND EDTA so help dissolve the dentin.

Reaming action as well.

17
Q

Definition:

Act of creating an artificial irregularity on the surface of the canal wall that IMPEDES the placement of instruments to the apex of an otherwise patent canal.

Caused by inadequate straight-line access.

A

Ledging

18
Q

How to manage ledging.

A

Pre-curve files to get by the ledge.

Once by, file any times in small amplitude strokes.

19
Q

Definition:

Removal of canal wall structure on the outside of the curve in the apical half of the canal due to tendency of files to straighten out.

May lead to ledge formation and possible perforation.

A

Transportation

20
Q

Definition:
A tear-drop shape formed in the apical foramen during preparation of a curved canal when a file extends through the apical foramen and transports that outer wall.

A

Zipping

21
Q

Types of fatigue that cause instruments to fracture.

A

Torsional or cyclic

22
Q

Def:

Fatigue when a part of the file binds while the rest rotates.

A

Torsional

23
Q

Fatigue caused by repetitive stress.

A

Cyclic

24
Q

Fatigue caused by repetitive stress. Typically revolutions around a curve.

A

Cyclic

25
Q

T/F: There’s no significant difference in healing between teeth with an instrument and without.

More important is creating a coronal seal!

A

True

26
Q

Most common site for a strip perforation.

A

Furcation side of the mandibular molars.

27
Q

DEf:

Penetration of a root canal wall due to excessive lateral tooth structure removal during canal preparation.

A

Strip perforation

28
Q

How to repair a strip perforation.

A

Obturate the canal below the strip perforation as usual.

Fill the perforation and backfill with MTA, or bioceramic.

29
Q

Definition:

An iatrogenic opening to the external tooth surface in the apical 1/3 of the canal.

Usu. occurs after ledging, or attempting patency in blocked canals.

A

Apical perforation

30
Q

How to manage an apical perforation:

A

Treat it like a second canal:

take a new working length, obturate as normal.

31
Q

Material used to repair a post perforation.

A

MTA.

32
Q

This premolar has a second canal 50% of the time.

A

Maxillary 2nd premolar

33
Q

Steps to tx extruded irrigant:

A
  • Anesthetize
  • Leave tooth OPEN! so it can drain.
  • Place on antibiotics/corticosteroids.
  • Analgesics
  • Cold compress, then heat.
34
Q

Why put someone who has bleach extrusion on antibiotics?

A

Bleach will necrotize the tissues, causing an infection.

35
Q

This implies that the canal space is NOT completely obturated.

A

Over-Extension

36
Q

Used to imply that the canal space is completely obturated.

Over-instrumented the foramen.

A

Over-fill
