Q

describe the step back technique used to achieve ideal taper

A
  1. start with the initial apical file (ex. #25)
  2. determine working length (ex. 18mm)
  3. set first three files to working length (#25, #30, and #35 all set to 18mm)
  4. set each additional file back 1mm (#40=17mm, #45=16mm, #50=15mm, #55=14mm, #60=13mm, etc)
  5. using the watch winding movement with 4-8 cycles per file, work your way up through the files using passive gentle touch pressure only, returning to the IAF between each successive file. irrigate between each file.
  6. repeat as necessary
