  2. Endodontic files and reamers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endodontic_files_and_reamers

    Endodontic files and reamers are surgical instruments used by dentists when performing root canal treatment. These tools are used to clean and shape the root canal, with the concept being to perform complete chemomechanical debridement of the root canal to the length of the apical foramen. Preparing the canal in this way facilitates the ...

  3. Root canal treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal_treatment

    The risk of endodontic files fracturing can be minimised by: [43] Ensuring access cavity allows straight-line introduction of files into canals; Creating a glide path before use of larger taper NiTi files; Using rotary instruments at the manufacturer's recommended speed and torque setting; Adopting a single-use file policy to prevent overuse of ...

  4. C file input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_file_input/output

    The C programming language provides many standard library functions for file input and output.These functions make up the bulk of the C standard library header <stdio.h>. [1] The functionality descends from a "portable I/O package" written by Mike Lesk at Bell Labs in the early 1970s, [2] and officially became part of the Unix operating system in Version 7.

  5. Barbed broach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbed_broach

    A barbed broach is a hand-operated endodontic tool used to remove the pulp tissue during root canal treatments. They have been in widespread use at least since the early 1900s, and their introduction allowed dentists to remove tissue from much smaller root canals than before.

  6. Nickel titanium rotary file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_titanium_rotary_file

    Nickel titanium rotary file used in dentistry. A nickel titanium rotary file is an engine-driven tapered and pointed endodontic instrument made of nickel titanium alloy with cutting edges used to mechanically shape and prepare the root canals during endodontic therapy or to remove the root canal obturating material while performing retreatment.

  7. Lentulo spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentulo_spiral

    A Lentulo spiral. The notches at left allow it to fit into a slow-speed latch handpiece. A Lentulo spiral is a dental instrument used to properly distribute root canal sealer and cement evenly throughout the root canal system, as when performing endodontic therapy or a post and core cementation.

  8. Electronic apex locator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_apex_locator

    An electronic apex locator is an electronic device used in endodontics to determine the position of the apical constriction and thus determine the length of the root canal space. The apex of the root has a specific resistance to electrical current, and this is measured using a pair of electrodes typically hooked into the lip and attached to an ...

  9. Endoclip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoclip

    A single-use rotatable endoclip in packaging. An endoclip is a metallic mechanical device used in endoscopy in order to close two mucosal surfaces without the need for surgery and suturing.
