Endosonics: Revolutionizing Endodontics

Abstract

During the past few decades endodontic treatment has benefited from the development of new techniques and equipment, which have improved outcome and predictability. Important attributes such as the operating microscope and ultrasonics (US) have found indispensable applications in a number of dental procedures in periodontology, to a much lesser extent in restorative dentistry, while being very prominently used in endodontics. US in endodontics has enhanced the quality of treatment and represents an important adjunct in the treatment of difficult cases. Since its introduction, US has become increasingly more useful in applications such as gaining access to canal openings, cleaning and shaping, obturation of root canals, removal of intracanal materials and obstructions, and endodontic surgery. This comprehensive review of the literature aims at presenting the numerous uses of US in clinical endodontics and emphasizes the broad applications in a modern-day endodontic practice.

Evolução histórica dos instrumentos endodônticos de níquel-titânio: revisão de literatura

“…Instrumentos confeccionados a partir da liga NiTi convencional contam com estrutura cristalina austenita como predominante na liga em temperatura ambiente, o que leva a superelasticidade (Zupanc, Vahdat-Pajouh, Schäfer, 2018) (Gavini et al, 2018;Bansode et al, 2016;.…”

Push-out Bond Strength Evaluation for Different Endodontic Sealers (A Comparative Study).

“…Endodontic sealer plays a crucial role in root canal treatment. It fills the spaces, root canal irregularities and minor discrepancies between the core filling material and the canal walls so that they form a coherent mass (1) . The key for successful endodontic therapy is to obtain a three-dimensional root canal obturation along with proper instrumentation and disinfection (2) .…”
