Dr. Rich Mounce discusses strategies for negotiating canals and achieving apical patency Achieving and maintaining apical patency are at the heart of all cleaning and shaping strategies, as optimal microbial disinfection and three-dimensional obturation are only possible when patency has been obtained. A lack of patency predisposes the procedure to clinical failure due to microbes […]

Accurate working-length determination has a profound influence on ideal canal preparation, microbial disinfection, and hermetic sealing of the root canal system. However, the location of the appropriate apical position has constituted a persistent challenge in clinical endodontics, largely because different opinions exist regarding the ideal apical limit of the root canal instrumentation and obturation.  

Dr. Allen Ali Nasseh discusses a clinical case to demonstrate the application of Advanced ESX instrumentation IntroductionAll root canals are not created equal. The root canal shapes we face on a daily basis are as unique as the individual patients who present them. Preparing such a variety of shapes and canal morphologies efficiently with a
