Rotary endodontics 1 article

Rotary endodontics is the engine-driven method of shaping root canals with rotating instruments, most commonly nickel-titanium files controlled by an endodontic motor. The clinician progresses through a planned sequence while monitoring working length, torque, canal patency and irrigation so a reproducible taper can be created for cleaning and obturation. The term describes a clinical technique rather than one file brand or alloy, and it differs from reciprocating motion even though both are mechanized approaches to canal preparation.
