Step-Back Technique in Endodontics

Insert files in a sequential order = Files are inserted into the root canal until the rubber stop contacts the occlusal reference point Work in a wet field = Irrigate often during the procedure Recapitulate often = Check the progress of the procedure frequently Start preparation 2-3 mm short of minor diameter = Modified Step-Back Technique is used

Better tactile awareness = Keeps apical preparation small in its original position Ability to prepare proper apical stop = Gradual taper is achieved Keeps apical preparation small = Better tactile awareness is achieved Gradual taper = Ability to prepare proper apical stop is achieved

Chances of pushing debris = It has a tendency to straighten the curved canal Time consuming = Debris may be pushed into periradicular tissues Difficulty in inserting instruments = It is a time-consuming process Straightening the curved canal = Difficulty may be encountered in inserting instruments

<p>Modified Step-Back Technique = Preparation is completed in apical third of the canal Passive Step-Back Technique = Provides gradual enlargement of the root in an apical to coronal direction</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Started 2-3 mm short of minor diameter = Modified Step-Back Technique Provides gradual enlargement of the root = Passive Step-Back Technique Combination of hand and rotary instruments = Passive Step-Back Technique Almost parallel retention form is achieved = Modified Step-Back Technique</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Gradual enlargement of the root = Passive Step-Back Technique Reducing the occurrence of procedural errors = Passive Step-Back Technique Retains the original shape of the canal = Modified Step-Back Technique Provides better tactile awareness = Modified Step-Back Technique</p> Signup and view all the answers
