Q

are there any straight lines in human anatomy

A

no, all canals are curved. that is why you should curve your SS files before placement in a canal.

Q

as our shaping proceeded to the larger sizesof ss hand files above #15

A

we have increase in stiffness and decrease of flexibility

which means that it can straighten out the canal and result in

ledges and blockages
canal transportation

Q

can transportation still occur with vortex blue files

A

yes.. by leaving it rotating for more than a moment, YOU NEED TO KEEP THE VORTEX MOVING while flexing it on the out stroke to further flare the walls.

Q

can transportation still occure with wave one gold file

A

yes.. if the operator tries to push or force the wave one gold file to WL because a very smooth glide path was not perfected.

Q

Ni-Ti are straight but-

A
  • EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE but will transport if inattentive and pushed
  • SUPER-ELASTIC AND EXPENSIVE will only follow a smooth glide path

Q

if a ledge is created or if we encounter loose resistance to apical advancement, we modify the curvation to include what

Study These Flashcards
A

the very terminal flute of the SMALL FILE to about 45 degree curve to bypass the curve toward the inner wall or to scout for the direction of the curve

24
Q

a simple ledge which is ignored will soon create what

Study These Flashcards
A

sufficient debris in the canal to create a blockage

25
most common causes of blockages:
- failure of recapitulate - failure to gain and maintain patency - failure to recognize loss of length ledge/blockage/curve
26
what is dentin mud
it can rapidly become harder than dentin especially in vital cases
27
when do we use strip - perforation
when files used are either too large or too aggressively used for a small or thin walled canal
28
in maxillary molars how many canals are there
MB1 and MB2 95% of the time
29
mandibular molars have what type of canals
DF and DL about 60% Type II MF and ML 40% type II
30
what type of canals do max 1PM have
85% have two roots
31
types of canal configurations
I, II, III, IV | i, o, u, y
32
what is the 2 file technique
how you tell if canals converge or are simply 2 canals in close proximity? - establish WL of each canal - attempt to place 2 files to WL in ea canal @ same time
33
in the 2 file technique if both go to WL then what does that mean
2 canals
34
in the 2 file technique if one goes and the other is short what does that mean
reverse the placement sequence if still one is short then it is a converging Class II canal
35
the "high cervical break" what is it
- using .25/.12 to create a smooth glide path in the MB canal, - insert it about 3 to 4mm into the canal - the purpose is to remove the dentin triangle and align the access to a more advantageous path to the canal
36
which teeth can benefit from the high cervical break
- MB canals from max molars - both mesial canal of md molars - any time that we can eliminate/minimize a cervical curve it will give better access to mid root and make apical curves easier and file separation will be less likely
37
why do files break aka separate
- judgment erros - cyclic fatigue (inside) - torsional stress (outside)
38
what is torsional stress
the larger the instrument or the tighter the curve, the greater the stretching on the outer diameter of the curved instrument and the greater the compression on the inner diameter of the curve
39
what is cyclic fatigue
greater acceleration of the curve results in increased stress from stretching and compressing resulting in increased cyclic fatigue
40
if you feel that you need to push the rotary file what should you do
go back and smooth or carefully enlarge the glide path with a small properly curved hand file
41
anytime obturation is not yet accomplished what should you do
place intracanal medication
42
any time a temp restoration is placed, it a good idea to do what
medicate and seal with proper interim temporization
43
what is the most popular intra-canal medication to use for between RCT visits
CaOH
44
where should you place the interim placement
-2mm short of the WL (do NOT allow to BIND) and then CaOH is expressed as the syringe is retracted from the canal - fill the canal to cervical line - clear excess CaOH from chamber - place sterile cotton pellet in chamber to prevent clogging of the canal with temp filling material after the cotton pellet
45
what do you place over the cotton
cavit, IRM, amalgam or composite
46
what is cavit and when is it best used
comes from the tuber or jar ready to place in the tooth. No mixing. Seals better than IRM (1-2 weeks) but deteriorates rapidly best used for 1 surface access
47
what is IRM
1-4 week duration of seal = stronger = use when 2 or more surfaces are missing
48
what is composite, amalgam and temp crowns
when considerable tooth structure is compromised of a greater delay to next tx visit is anticipated.
49
temporization following obturation
use "vitrebond"
50
what is vitrebond
a resin modified glass ionomer it is recommended to seal the obturated canal against leakage following successful RCT completion while awaiting perm restoration.
51
if saliva remains in contact with GP for 72 hours what will happen
re tx will be required
52
follow "vitrebond" with what
composite, amalgam, temp crown etc, as a base for crown to follow or as directed by restorative faculty
53
if your tx plan calls for a post what should you do
place cotton over obturation no vitrebond. instead place substantial IRM/amalgam/composite or temp crown over cotton --> XR --> Completed RCT film without rubber dam place rubber dam, remove IRM/amalgam/composite and cotton and proceed with post and planned restoration
54
if your tx plan calls for a crown
- DO NOT PLACE COTTON over obturation | - place amalgam or vitrebond and composite as a build up --> XR --> RCT without rubber damn
55
restorations of RCT ant teeth that need to be done ASAP
minimal structural loss --> vitrebond and composite significant structural loss --> crown or post and crown
56
restorations of RCT post teeth that need to be done ASAP
minimal structural loss: Crown ALL POST significant structural loss: post and crown
57
2 things to remember about posts
- posts do NOT strengthen tooth (they weaken it) | - posts provide ONLY RETENTION of coronal restoration
