Rotary Instrumentation Flashcards
Direction of canal calcification:
canal down
Preflaring:
larger files, coronal 3rd 2/3, to remove coronal constriction BEFORE WL
Adv of preflaring:
allows Smaller files to get to apical 3rd, better Tactile feel of apical constriction, Red file Separation (check), better Apex Locator reading
Taper of hand files:
.02
Length of cutting flutes:
16mm (D0-D16)
Laragest diameter hand file:
(16 * 0.2) + file size
0.32 + file size
What is the diameter of a #30 file at D16:
(16 * 0.02) + .30 + 0.62
D0 starts here:
first cutting flute
TF? rotary files have the same tapers.
F
Common tapers:
0.04 0.06, 0.08mm
DIameter of 0.02 file at D16:
0.32mm
Diameter of 0.06 file at D16
0.96
Can you have the same apical diameter with different tapers?
yes
Type of rotary file we use:
Protaper Gold
Size of purple rotary file:
18
Siae of white rotary file:
20
Size of yellow rotary files:
20 at tip, but tapered differently than white file
What two color rotary files have 20 diameter at tip?
whte and yellow
V:
variable taper, only give you the apical 3rd (3mm?)
Technique to use w the ProTaperGold
crown down
2 types of ProTaperGold files:
shapres, finishers
ProTaper gold files to use for coronal 2/3:
shapers
ProTaper gold files to use for apical 1/3:
finishers
List the options for shapers;
sx, s1, s2
List the options for finishers:
F1-F5
ProTaper Gold have what taper:
variable
How are the tapers listed for ProTaper Gold files:
apical 3mm
Diameter of F2 -25/0.08 at D1, D2, and D3?
0.08 for all
