4. Mechanical Objectives Create a continuous taper with the narrowest part apically and the widest part coronal. Preserve the natural curvature of the canal Preservation of the apical foramen Creation of an apical stop (seat) Objectives of Cleaning & Shaping
5. Biological Objectives Total removal of organic and inorganic debris in root canal system Disinfection of the root canal system Do no harm the tooth or the periodontium Objectives of Cleaning & Shaping
6. Outline Form Resistance Form Retention Form Extension For prevention Toilet of Cavity (Irrigation) Principles of Radicular Cavity Preparation
7. Canals are wider in one dimension and not the other The cross-section of the canal is rarely rounded There are high percentages of extra canals Lateral & Accessory canals do exists All canals have a degree of curvature Complex Anatomy that Should be Considered
8. The Myth of the GeometricallyTapered & Straight Canal
10. Proper coronal cavity preparation Tooth Length Determination Apical Constriction (o.5 to 1mm) Minor Diameter Major Diameter Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement
11. Radiographic Method (Ingle’s Method) Tentative length Reduction of estimated length Placement of the instrument in the canal Exposure of a radiograph Adjustment of the length Retake the radiograph (If necessary) Methods of Tooth Length Determination(Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement)
17. Pulp extirpation & tissue debridement Irrigation (Chemical) The rule is As much as you can As many times as you can Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement
18. Functions of an Irrigant To physically flush debris Tissue solvent Antibacterial agent Lubricant Irrigation (Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement)
20. Types of Irrigants Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) Preferred irrigant Used in full concentration or half concentration 5.25% or 2.625% Excellent tissue solvent Can be combined with H2O2 Best results alternating with EDTA Irrigation (Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement)
21. Types of Irrigants Ethylene Diaminetetracetice Acid (EDTA) Strong chelating agent Strong antibacterial agent Not a tissue solvent Types: RC prep & Glyde Available in gel form Irrigation (Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement)
22. Types of Irrigants Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (H2O2) Nascent oxygen (Antibacterial) Effervescence or Bubbling action Irrigation (Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement)
23. Types of Irrigants ChlorohexidineGluconate 0.2% Comparable to NaOCl but without tissue solvent capability Quaternary Ammonium Compounds Antiseptic, not a tissue solvent, low toxicity Irrigation (Preparation for Root Canal Enlargement)
29. Why do we clean & shape? Mechanical Objectives Biological Objectives The Myth of the Geometric Canal Preparation for root canal enlargement Proper access Tooth length determination Irrigation Functions of an irrigant Ideal properties of an irrigant Types of irrigants Components of a preparation technique Step-Back Technique Mid Lecture Revision
