Abstract

A matrix technique and its modifications to assist in the restoration of Class V lesions occurring in the gingival third of the teeth are described. This technique is applicable for filled and unfilled restorative resins.

Histomorphometric comparison of canals prepared by four techniques.

Numerous methods of root canal preparation have been recommended and used by clinicians. This study used histomorphometrics to determine the area of root canal preparations using four currently popular techniques. Clinicians that were highly skilled in each technique prepared curved canals in acrylic blocks. Each clinician described this technique and discussed the technique with regard to the use of acrylic blocks as compared with dentin. Analysis of the areas of the root canals after preparation revealed a significant difference among the groups. The mean areas after treatment were step-back technique, 17.33 mm2; Cavi-Endo technique, 15.87 mm2; Canal Master technique, 13.56 mm2; and balanced force technique, 17.31 mm2. Photographs of the blocks used in the study were included for inspection by the reader.

Endodontic retreatment: a rational approach to root canal reinstrumentation.

During nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, endodontic instruments are forced apically to remove the root canal filling material and regain canal patency. Undiscriminating burrowing down the canal in the apical direction may be fruitless and harmful. To avoid complications, the dentin overhanging the canal orifice must be removed and an unobstructed access established to the root filling material, so as to facilitate its removal. Reinstrumentation of the filled canal must take into consideration the nature of the filling material and the physical properties of endodontic instruments, as well as the dynamic aspects of canal preparation. This article discusses the mechanical considerations pertaining to root canal retreatment and outlines a step by step rationale approach to retreatment.

Dentin removal efficiency of six endodontic systems: a quantitative comparison.

The dentin removal efficiency of current endodontic systems, based on the amount of dentin removed in 1 mm of canal axial length, was determined for working times of 1 and 2 min. Six endodontic systems were compared: The Giromatic with Heli-Giro files, the Sonic-Air with Shapers, the Mecasonic with Shapers, the Cavi-Med with K files, the Cavi-Med with Shapers, the Excalibur with its own K files. Generally speaking, the efficiency of each device depends on the duration of instrumentation, on the type of file used, and on its mode of activation. For 1 min of instrumentation, the Mecasonic+Shaper was the most efficient system. For 2 min of instrumentation, the original adaptation of the Shaper on the Cavi-Med gave the highest activity. Concerning the files used in ultrasonics, the Shaper seems to be more efficient than the K file. As for the sonics, the Excalibur+file system gave results comparable to those of the Mecasonic+Shaper; both of these devices were twice as efficient as the Sonic-Air+Shaper.
