WL and Access Flashcards
Bad access = ____ RCT
Bad RCT
When creating outline of access, the bur should be _____ to lingual surface of anteriors
Perpendicular
You should reach the pulp in
most cases by ___ mm. – if not,
call for instructor help.
7 mm
Un-roof Pulp Chamber with
brushing _____. Take
care not to gouge axial walls.
out-strokes
The correct ___ is: 1.0mm.
SHORT of the CANAL EXIT
WL
The correct WL is: _____ of the CANAL EXIT
1.0mm.
SHORT
– Measure tooth ______ you MOUNT tooth
before
What file is used to take a radiograph for WL?
15
Should you instrument to patency?
Never
Should you instrument to patency or WL?
WL
WL Too ____: The canal is NOT well CLEANED
SHORT
WL Too \_\_\_\_\_: Even ¼ of a mm. long of the constriction – we have created a “BLOW-OUT” which guarantees incomplete compaction at the apex and an explosion of sealer in the PA tissues.
LONG
The 1st Step after DX • Cleaning and Shaping: FACILITATES: – Locating the Canals – Negotiating the Canals – Gaining Patency – Establishing Working Length – Maintaining Apical Constriction – A GOOD OUTCOME
Access
- You will NOT have a predictable result
- You will routinely miss canals
- You will NOT be able to clean properly
- You will NOT be able to shape completely
- You will NOT be able to fill adequately
- *** You will easily create problems and make your RCT far more difficult, dangerous and time-consuming than it needs to be.
Poor access
Requirements of _____:
1. Visibility of pulp chamber and all canal orifices
from a single vantage point
2. Straight-line access to mid-root for instrument
placement
3. Complete removal of pulpal roof & pulp horns
4. Avoidance of unnecessary weakening of tooth
