Root canals, or endodontic therapy, is an enigmatic treatment. Although root canals preserve the natural tooth while removing any infectious cells, the treatment has been beleaguered by references to painful procedures and complications. Due to these factors, dentists have begun recommending the alternative to root canals, dental implants, to patients. Fighting back, root canal treatment has taken a leap in technology, providing efficient and predictable treatment while preserving the natural tooth.
Some dentists believe that many of the old tools used for root canals have simply become outdated, because of the tools, dentists started to lose stock in root canals. There were just so many complications to consider, and dentists started to prefer removing the infected tooth rather than trying to restore it, which is a shame.
What is EndoSequence tech?
EndoSequence system is fourth generation endodontic file provided by Brasseler USA, provides many of the answers endodontists have been looking for. Some problems dentists face when using dental files include errant filing (transporting) of the root canal, filing “suck down,” debris accumulation, file separation, file tip breakage, and file stripping. EndoSequence manages to sidestep these hazards with its unique architecture and durable nickel titanium composition.
According to a report titled, “Simplifying Endodontics With EndoSequence Rotary Instrumentation”, EndoSequence incorporates several design enhancements in its equipment to provide predictable, high-precision instrumentation. Its alternating contact point (ACP) file design keeps the file centered in the canal while reducing torque from the dentist, which can contribute to several of the complications mentioned.
According to this report, EndoSequence benefits from electropolishing, which buffs out microcracks in the file structure and prevents fractures in the tool. This increases cutting effectiveness and greatly reduces the chances for tip breakage during procedures. Lastly, the report claims that EndoSequence implements a non-cutting precision tip, allowing efficient filing and extraction of dental pulp matter from the tooth, providing a well-grooved canal for sealing.
According to the American Association of Endodontists (AAE), root canals are a procedure in which the dentist or endodontist removes inflamed or infected dental pulp from inside the tooth. Then, the inside of the tooth is cleaned to prevent infection, and is filled and sealed.
What is Dental pulp?
Dental pulp is soft tissue matter inside of the tooth’s root canal, and can become infected by anything from dental decay, a chip or crack in the tooth, or even repeated dental procedures. Without treatment, an abscess or inflammation will cause discomfort and possible systemic complications to other parts of the body.
The benefits of EndoSequence system
EndoSequence has been a great help in performing successful root canals time after time. It is critically important to fully extract dental pulp from the infected tooth before filling and sealing the tooth. If pulp is left in the tooth, or if the canals are not fully emptied, patients can experience relapses or prolonged discomfort after the operation.
