Management of curved canals with heat treated alloys

Abstract

Instrumentation of root canals has become more predictable with the advent of rotary Nickle Titanium instruments. One of the biggest drawbacks is instrument fracture. The risk of which increases with more complex canal curvatures. The sequence of use in combination with heat treated instruments has significantly reduced this risk. This lecture inte4nds to explore the preparation of complex canal curvatures in a safe and predictable manner.
