Study Notes
Root Canal Cleaning and Shaping: Mechanical Objectives and Working Length Determination
- Mechanical objectives for cleaning and shaping include developing a continuous tapering conical form, making the canal narrower apically, preserving the natural curve and taper of the canal, and creating an apical stop.
- Zipping, apical transportation, and apical perforation are potential issues when using large or stiff instruments in curved canals.
- Principles of intraradicular cavity preparation include irrigation, resistance form, retention form, and extension for prevention.
- Resistance form is achieved by enlarging the apical terminus of the canal while retaining the apical constriction.
- Retention form is achieved by enlarging the apical terminus to maintain parallel canal walls and a round cross-section.
- Extension for prevention involves adjusting the working length and preparing all canal walls circumferentially.
- Working length is measured from the coronal reference point to the apical constriction and is crucial for determining the instrument length, canal filling depth, and postoperative pain.
- Landmarks for working length determination include the radiographic apex, apical constriction, and cementodentinal junction.
- Tooth length determination must avoid both improper cleaning and persistent infection, as well as irritation of periapical tissues.
- Methods for tooth length determination include the radiographic method, electronic apex locators, and tactile sense.
- The radiographic method, while widely used, has limitations such as superimposition of anatomic structures and radiation hazards.
- Electronic apex locators use electrical resistance to locate the minor diameter of the foramen, are not affected by soft tissue fluids, and minimize radiation exposure.
