Q

explain how the bur is angled when created the access site for standard RCT

A

initially the bur is perpendicular to the enamel (using a high-speed friction grip bur) for 1-2mm until through enamel.
then it is angled towards the apex to enter the pulp (using a low-speed right angle bur)

Q

explain the 3 techniques for cleaning and shaping root canals

A

step-down or crown-down: larger files are used to enlarge the coronal aspect, followed by progressively smaller files until working length is reached

step-back: start with smallest file that will reach working length followed by progressively larger files

hybrid: start with initial enlargement to flare coronal aspect, followed by step-back technique
