The anticurvature filing method to prepare the curved root canal

M Abou-Rass et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1980 Nov.

Abstract

The anticurvature filing method maintains the integrity of canal walls at their thin portion and reduces the possibility of root perforation or stripping. With this method, the dental practitioner maintains digital control over the endodontic instrument, and the preparation of the curved canal is eased.
