Working length electronic control

🦷 Working Length and Apical Diameter: Two Key Parameters in Endodontics Working length and apical diameter are two fundamental parameters for successful endodontic treatment. Electronic working length control allows us to respect the established apical limit, preventing unintentional over-instrumentation during canal shaping. Visual gauging, on the other hand, helps us assess the adequacy of apical preparation and determine when canal shaping can be considered complete. In this case, after using a 25/.06 rotary file, we can observe that the last flutes show no dentin debris. This suggests that further apical preparation is needed. For this reason, I preferred to use instruments with a lower taper, progressively increasing the apical diameter while avoiding unnecessary dentin removal in the middle and coronal…
