Abstract:

Endodontic therapy depends upon numerous factors among which the most important is the shaping performed in order to optimize the root canal disinfection. The main instrument series available on the market, so-called the active blade series, don�??t allow the dynamic upward removal of the machined dentine debris as soon as their groove is packed. In order to optimize the root canal cleaning, it�??s possible to add to the main characteristics of a file an asymmetrical design. These instruments evolutions of Ni Ti files were done to perform a sequence in order to answer both the biological and safety imperatives for endodontic treatments in general practice. During this presentation we will go through an extensive literature review and discuss the added value of such modification on the mechanical performance of the NiTi rotary files. We will discuss in a step by step the clinical implications to take advantage of these improvements clinically.
