    Study Notes

    Endodontic Instruments

    • Gates-Glidden (GG) burs and Peeso reamers are types of endodontic instruments.

    Adaptability in Root Canals

    • Instruments that can safely operate in and adapt to curved root canals are engine-driven instruments.

    Three-Dimensional Adaptation

    • Instruments that adapt themselves three-dimensionally to the shape of the root canal are NiTi files.

    Barbed Broaches

    • The main purpose of barbed broaches is to remove pulp tissue and remaining debris from the root canal.

    Reciprocating Motion

    • Reciprocating motion is primarily used by hand files and reamers.

    Hedström File Function

    • The primary function of a Hedström file in endodontic treatment is to shape and clean the root canal.

    K-Type File vs. Hedström File

    • The distinguishing feature of a K-type file compared to a Hedström file is its triangular cross-section.

    Uni-File Role

    • The role of a Uni-file in endodontic treatment is to shape and clean the root canal in a single file system.

    Importance of Flexibility

    • Flexibility is important in endodontic instruments because it enables them to navigate curved canals without breakage.

    NiTi File vs. Hedström File

    • A Nickel Titanium (NiTi) file differs from a Hedström file in its superelastic properties, allowing it to be more flexible and resistant to breakage.
