The University of Tennessee, College of Dentistry philosophy and technique for cleaning and shaping root canal systems
Abstract
The introduction of nickel titanium files has caused what the author believes to be revolutionary changes in the cleaning and shaping of root canal systems. New materials and file designs are constantly being evaluated and considered for introduction in the dental school curriculum. It is the purpose of this paper to review the techniques currently being taught and introduce some new ideas and techniques which are being evaluated for introduction into the curriculum in the future. Techniques using hand and rotary files will be presented in addition to a review of nickel titanium files.
