Clinical guidelines for the use of ProTaper Next™ instruments: part one

Drs. Peet J. van der Vyver and Michael J. Scianamblo discuss the clinical guidelines for using Protaper Next instruments Introduction According to Bird, Chambers, and Peters (2009), rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments have become a standard tool for shaping root canal systems. These instruments provide the clinician with several advantages compared to conventional stainless steel instruments. […]
