Endodontic techniques defined by principles.

Abstract

Traditional endodontics, limited to the use of K-files, has proven so inefficient in achieving predictable superior results that its deficiencies led to the development and adoption of rotary NiTi systems that produce far superior results, often with much less physical effort. However, in tight curved canals, the inherent weakness of rotary NiTi to both torsion and cyclic fatigue has led to a troubling number of fractured instruments lodged in the canals. The introduction of the SafeSider instrumentation system eliminates the problems of both traditional K-file instrumentation and the fractured instruments associated with rotary NiTi, while delivering superior results in a time-efficient manner.
