A Rose By Any Other Name?
The XP-3D Shaper and FInisher have ushered in a new era of endodontic instrumentation. These anatomically dedicated files are at the epicentre of bio-minimalistic preparation of the root canal space.
Risk Assessment Criteria for Tooth Preservation and Protocols for Successful Reconstruction
One of the more challenging dental procedures facing clinicians is the restoration of an endodontically treated tooth.
The Booster Tip: Rethinking Apical Shaping
In general, nickel-titanium instrumentation systems have a non-cutting tip which renders it inactive. The purpose is to enable the tip to follow the glide path rather than actively cut and risk ledging or torsional failure/fracture if the canal wall is inadvertently...
Bio-minimalism Redux
Root canal instrumentation is one of the major tools for ensuring the long-term success of root canal therapy. The aim is to mechanically disrupt as much biofilm as possible so that with the addition of irrigants and/or intra-canal medicaments a very low...
XPEndo Finisher – Value as adjunctive tool grows
MicroCT images of representative specimens subjected to retreatment procedures. Only the apical segment of the roots was reconstructed. A) The initial microCT scan taken after root canal filling. B) Post-operative...
