Strategically, this brush-cutting action can be used to eliminate cervically positioned triangles of dentin, more effectively shape into fins, isthmuses, and canal irregularities, or to relocate the coronal aspect of a canal away from furcal danger. If any ProTaper file ceases to easily advance within the secured portion of a canal, withdraw it, and recognize that intrablade debris has deactivated and pushed the instrument off the wall of the canal. Upon removing each Shaping file, visualize where the debris is located along its cutting blades to better appreciate the region within the canal that is being prepared.
Following the use of each Shaping file, irrigate, recapitulate with a 10 file to break up debris, and move it into solution, then re-irrigate. Without pressure, and in one or more passes, S1, then S2, is used in this manner until the depth of the 15 hand file is reached. When the coronal two-thirds of the canal is shaped, then attention can focus on apical one-third procedures.
With the pulp chamber filled brimful with a viscous chelator, the apical one-third of the canal is fully negotiated and enlarged to at least a size 15 hand file, working length confirmed, and patency established. At this time, a decision must be made between whether to finish the apical one-third with rotary or hand instruments.
If a new and straight 15 file can gently 'slide' and passively 'glide' to length, then rotary instruments will generally follow this confirmed and reproducible glide path. However, certain canals exhibit anatomical challenges that necessitate a reciprocating handle motion in order to move precurved 10 and 15 files to length.
When there is an irregular glide path, then the apical one-third of a canal may be advantageously finished with precurved manual ProTaper instruments. When the apical one-third of the canal has been secured, then the pulp chamber is filled brimful with NaOCl. The ProTaper sequence is to carry the S1, then the S2, to the full working length. Float, follow, and brush as previously described until the terminus of the canal is reached.
S1, then S2, will typically move to length in one or more passes depending on the length, diameter, and curvature of the canal. Following each ProTaper file, irrigate, recapitulate with a 10 file, then re-irrigate. After using the Shaping files, particularly in more curved canals, working length should be reconfirmed, as a more direct path to the terminus has been established.
At this stage of treatment, the preparation can be finished using one or more of the ProTaper Finishing files in a non-brushing manner. The F1 is selected and passively allowed to move deeper into the canal, in one or more passes, until the terminus is reached. When the F1 achieves length, the instrument is removed, its apical flutes are inspected, and if they are loaded with dentin, then visual evidence supports, the shape is cut.
Following the use of F1, flood the shaped canal with irrigant, recapitulate, and confirm patency, then re-irrigate to liberate debris from the canal. Fully shaped canals hold an effective volume of irrigant that, when activated EndoActivator, Advanced Endodontics , can potentially circulate, penetrate, and clean into all aspects of the root canal system.
If the 20 hand file is snug at length, then the canal is fully shaped and, if irrigation protocols have been followed, ready to pack. If the 25 file is snug at length, then the canal is fully shaped and ready to pack. If the 50 hand file is loose at length, then use alternative NiTi rotary or manual files to finish the apical extent of these larger, easier, and more straightforward canals.
ProTaper shapes are easy to fill utilizing a ProTaper matching gutta percha master cone in conjunction with a warm vertical condensation technique Fig. As an alternative, a well-shaped canal can be readily and completely filled with a ProTaper carrier-based obturator. The ProTaper sequence is always the same regardless of the tooth or anatomical configuration of the canal being treated Fig.
The ProTaper sequence is always the same regardless of the length, diameter, or curvature of the canal. The green color represented the anatomical contours before instrumentation, whereas the red color indicated the shape after instrumentation.
The results from this investigation are clinically relevant, and a portion of the data is available for review Figs. The advantages of the Shaping files to brush laterally and selectively cut dentin on the outstroke are summarized below:. The Shaping files were essentially loose within a canal during the majority of their work. The coronal aspect of the canals were safely relocated away from an external root concavity.
A brush-cutting action achieved a centered preparation and maximized remaining dentin. Note the successful relocation of the canals at this level Fig. Note the ProTaper shapes are round and centered within the root Fig. Note the ProTaper shape perfectly includes the original canal diameter Fig. This figure compares before and after instrumentation with the S1, S2, and F1 files. Note the shapes are full, smooth flowing, and centered, and the files have physically contacted virtually all the internal anatomy Fig.
There is a continuous parade of new files that come to market annually. All of these file systems are claimed to be superior, in one way or another, due to alleged improvements in metallurgy, cutting efficiency, safety, and simplicity. Regrettably, when any given set of rotary files is used incorrectly, either intentionally or unintentionally, then the message delivered is flawed, irrelevant, and fails to honestly disclose true clinical performance. In these times of unprecedented claims, it would be wise to pause and remember those early pioneers, like Dr Herbert Schilder, whose relevant contributions helped create the biological and clinical foundation on which we stand.
For new technologies to be meaningful, clinical results must hold up to scientific scrutiny, compliment time-honored principles, and work successfully in the hands of countless dentists.
The ProTaper concept provides a set of instruments with unique geometries that, when sequenced and used correctly, affords extraordinary efficiency and safety. Editorial note: A complete list of references is available from the publisher. Dr Clifford J.
