Endodontic file design and dynamics in automated root canal preparation. Concepts, materials and methods

G Levy et al. Alpha Omegan. 1990.

Abstract

Many treatment failures in endodontics are caused by problems that occurred during canal preparation. This article reviews principles of endodontic instrument design and analyzes the design as it relates to an automated handpiece. After a review of the problems of automation, there will be an introduction of a new automated handpiece and a new modified file known as the Anticurvature File.
