Answer 1

using the k file equivalent to your max size recirpoc - file should advance easily to CWL and not beyond.
Can assess with apex locator - reading should be green. Tugback confirms apical control

Question 2

what must you do between each round of reciproc pecking

Answer 2

Question 4

what probe for locating orifices

DG16

Question 5

0 reading on electronic apex locator

Answer 5

indicates PDL
remove 0.5-1mm from this to calculate CWL

Question 6

discuss apical taper of modified double flare

Answer 6

use one file size larger than master apical file.
prep to 1mm less than CWL
R/I/P
then one size less and repeat until desired file goes passively to desired length
master apical file then used to smooth prep
