It seems that nowadays the most complicated part of the root canal treatment is no longer the shaping procedure, but the process of negotiating and initially preparing the root canal up to the point that engine driven instruments can be used.
Wouldn´t it be nice to have a universal endodontic preparation strategy to start with, that can be used as a routine treatment approach in every single case? Efficient in easy teeth, safe and predictable in difficult situations?
It is needless to say, that such an all-embracing endodontic cookbook does not exist. But we have a whole bundle of strategies, which can be used and combined, to get reliable results.
This lecture takes a close look at different treatment strategies, which enable the practitioner to create a secure glide path and to shape root canals to sufficient dimensions even in complicated anatomies, without fear of instrument separation or blocking or ledging. Different shaping techniques are shown side by side and their advantages and drawbacks are discussed.
