Study Notes
Isolation in Endodontic Procedures
- The primary advantage of using isolation during endodontic procedures is to prevent contamination and ensure asepsis.
Rubber Dam (RD)
- The recommended thickness for rubber dam (RD) is 0.06 mm.
- When using a non-wing clamp, the rubber dam (RD) should be placed first, followed by the clamp.
- If there is not much tooth structure to clamp, a build-up may be needed before placing a rubber dam (RD).
Tooth Anatomy
- The pulp is generally located in the center of the tooth, between the enamel and dentin.
Access Openings
- It is important to consider the morphology of each individual tooth group when determining access openings for endodontic procedures.
- The recommended shape to access preps for a normal tooth with radiographic evidence of pulp chamber and canal space is a triangular or oval shape.
Isolation During Endodontic Procedures
- Using a rubber dam (RD) serves as a barrier against saliva, bacteria, and debris during endodontic procedures.
- One of the benefits of using rubber dam isolation during endodontic procedures is to improve visibility and control.
Endodontic Procedures
- Convenience Form is used to facilitate the development of an aseptic environment prior to entering the pulp chamber or radicular space.
- Failure to clean the periphery is a common error during endodontic procedures.
- The C-shape canal morphology is common in the Asian population.
Pre-Procedure Preparation
- A rubber dam (RD) must be placed before files and broaches are used in endodontic procedures.
- A explorer is used to detect canal orifice or dislodge calcifications during endodontic procedures.
- Case difficulty should be assessed using pre-op images to determine the complexity of the procedure.
Challenges During Endodontic Procedures
- Extensive foundations in crowns can hinder visibility during access in endodontic procedures.
