In this week’s Friday Questions video, Dr. Nasseh explains the difference between reciprocation and rotation motion when it comes to mechanized endodontic instrumentation. What’s better? Why? What are the downsides?…
Is there such thing as a torque setting for a file? Dr. Nasseh answers a viewer question.…
Saving teeth is the primary goal of all endodontic therapy. However, when conventional, non-surgical root canal therapy does not work and the tooth has good coronal restoration and periodontal conditions, apicoectomy and retrofilling can be considered as a viable way to save teeth that would otherwise be extracted through a single procedure. In this video, Dr. Nasseh explains this procedure and how the modern “Lid Technique” developed by RWE is more efficient and effective than the historical apicoectomy procedure. …
The ESX File is unique in the way that it has different algorithms of use for different kinds of canals. This allows minimum use of files depending on the case at hand and what makes ESX a modular instrumentation technique.
This is why 2 ESX files can be used as a minimum to complete a Basic Canal and 4-5 ESX files is needed to complete an Advanced canal.
This differentiation helps practitioners use the minimum number of files in a given case and yet provide responsible, safe instrumentation for their patients.
In this tutorial Dr. Nasseh demonstrates the use of ESX files and the Advanced protocol in a mandibular second molar.
