Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Why Rotary Endodontic Istrumentation The two primary goals for root canal instrumentation are: 1. To provide a biological environment that is conducive to healing 2 . To provide a canal shape that is conformable to sealing . John T. McSpadden
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Why Rotary Endodontic Istrumentation Rotary I nstrumentation V/S Hand instrumentation -- Ability to collect and remove debris from the canal system -- Mechanical rotation provides a more constant movement inside the canal respecting and following the canal anatomy reducing the incidence of ledging , perforation or canal transpotation -- Less time
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Endodontic Rotary Files The greatest innovation in the manufacturing of endodontic rotary files in twentieth century ( 1960) Why Nickel – Titanium ( NiTi) Files NiTi V/S SS -- NiTi endodontic rotary files are entirely fabricated by machining process in contrast to twisting process of stainless steel files -- The widespread popularity of nickel-titanium ( NiTi ) rotary instruments arises from the relatively low elastic modulus of the nickel titanium alloy, which permits use of these instruments in curved root canals that would present considerable difficulty for stainless steel instruments . -- The NiTi file comes back to its original straight form without showing any sign of lasting deformation . This is called shape memory.
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Endodontic Rotary Files Why Nickel – Titanium ( Nitti) Files NiTi V/S SS -- The ability of resisting stress without permanent deformation and going back to the initial lattice form is called super elasticity -- Super-elasticity and shape memory of NiTi alloy is because of phase transformation in their crystal structure. The alloy exists in two crystallographic forms i.e. parent Austenitic phase which is stronger and stable than the daughter Martensitic phase. On heating the alloy undergoes transformation from the Austenitic,stronger and stable phase to the Martensitic phase weaker phase , and on cooling it reverts back to Austenitic phase. A similar phase change occurs when the alloy is stressed during root canal treatment. On release of stress , the structure reverts back to Austenite. Austenite Martensite Austenite
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Endodontic Rotary Files Why Nickel – Titanium ( Nitti) Files NiTi V/S SS -- Cutting efficiency of NiTinol is only 60% than that of matching S.S. file. -- NiTi Does not give any signs of fatigue before they fracture. -- More expensive
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files 1)M-wire NiTi – Developed by Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties (Tulsa, OK, USA) Advantage: This material has greater flexibility and an increased resistance to cyclic fatigue when compared to traditional NiTi alloys 2) R-phase NiTi – Developed by SybronEndo (Orange, CA, USA) Advantage: Files have reduced stiffness and more fracture resistance compared to standard NiTi files. 3 ) Controlled-Memory (CM) NiTi Advantage: Files have superior cyclic fatigue resistance and increased torque strength over traditional NiTi files. Advances in Nickel-Titanium Metallurgy
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Standardization of Endodontic Files Original recommendation by I ngle for standardized instruments INSTRUMENT DIAMETER AND TAPER Cutting blades 16 mm in length 2 % Taper . The diameter of the instrument at tip (D1) is determined by size in hundredths of millimeters. Diameter 2 (D2) is uniformly 0.32 mm greater than D1. Length- 21, 25, 31 mm.
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Standardization of Endodontic Files Two modifications were made in Ingle’s original proposed recommendation - additional measurement at D3 , 3 mm from tip/ D1 , and specification for shapes of the tip : 75 degrees, ± 15 degrees .
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Taper It is expressed as the amount of file diameter increases each millimeter along its working surface from the tip towards the file handle. SIGNIFICANCE : The ability to determine cross-sectional diameter at a given point on a file can help the clinician to determine the file size in the point of curvature and the relative stress being placed on the instrument .
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Core It is the cylindrical center part of the file having its circumference outlined and bordered by the depth of the flutes. Significance :The flexibility and resistance to torsion is partially determined by the core diameter.
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Flute It is the groove in the working surface used to collect soft tissue and dentin chips removed from the walls of the canal. The effectiveness of the flute depends on its depth, width, configuration, and surface finish . A progressively larger distance between flute space and blade is required so as to avoid any compaction of debris and also provides an effective channel for its removal .
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Cutting edge: -- The surface with the greatest diameter -- The blade of the file. Significance : The cutting edge forms and deflects chips from the wall of the canal and cut or snags soft tissue. Its effectiveness depends on its angle of incidence and sharpness.
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Land or Marginal width The surface that projects axially from the central axis as far as the cutting edge between the flutes. Functions : -Prevents screwing in of the file - Supports the cutting edge - Limits the depth of cut Maintains the file in the Centre of root canal Relief Area A reduce surface area of the land Function reduce friction resistance
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Helix Angle The angle formed by the cutting edge with the long axis of the file. Helps in removing debris collected in the flute from the canal
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files PITCH The pitch of the file is the distance between a point on the leading edge and the corresponding point on the adjacent leading edge . The number of the flute per unit length The smaller the pitch the shorter the distance between corresponding points more spirals the file will have greater the helix angle Most files have a variable pitch, that changes along the working surface. The result of a constant pitch and constant helical angles is a “thread-in” or “sucking down” of file within the canal .
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Rake Angle : is the angle formed by the leading edge and the radius of the file when the file is sectioned perpendicular to its long axis. If the angle formed by the leading edge and the surface to be cut is acute, the rake angle is said to be negative or scraping Most conventional endodontic files utilize a negative or “substantially neutral” rake angle. NEGATIVE RAKE ANGLE PROTAPER
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files Component of NiTi Rotary Files Rake Angle : If the angle formed by the leading edge and the surface to be cut is obtuse, the rake angle is said to be positive or cutting. Positive rake angles will cut more efficiently than neutral rake angles, which scrap the inside of the canal. K3 positive angle
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Tip design Tip design can affect file control, efficiency , and outcome in the shaping of root canal systems . Instrument tips have been described as cutting, noncutting, and partially cutting, The specific design features of the tip, such as tip angle, tip length , cross-section , and tip geometry ,significantly effect t he cutting efficiency of the file and play the important role in Controlling the movement Of the file inside the root canal
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Tip design The instrument tip has two functions: to enlarge the canal and to guide the file through the canal. If the canal is smaller than the file, a cutting tip would be more efficient. If the canal is larger than the tip, using a less effective cutting tip can help in preventing transportation. Powell et al pointed out that when this tip “angle” is reduced, the file stays centered within the original canal and cuts all sides more evenly

Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Selection of NiTi Rotary Files According to File Design : Ranke Angles It is the angle formed by the cutting edge and a radius when the file is sectioned perpendicular to the cutting edge. Positive rake angles will cut more efficiently than neutral rake angles, which scrap the inside of the canal. Most conventional endodontic files utilize a negative or “ substantially neutral ” rake angle. The ProTaper has a negative rake angle but due to its modified blade and progressive taper, the instrument cuts very effectively. many practitioners believe the ideal rake angle is, in fact , slightly positive but not overly positive . An overly positive rake angle will result in digging of the dentin This can lead to separation.

Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Selection of NiTi Rotary Files Before you choose a rotary file, you must try it Correct Choice in Rotary Files depend on Understand the fundamentals of file design & combine that with your pre-clinical trial . Golden rule
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Golden Rules for NiTi Rotary Preparation Assess case difficulty Provide adequate access…. Straight line access 3. Prepare with hand files up to size #20 prior to rotary use--- glide path Use light touch and low rpm --don’t force the file Proceed with crown-down sequence preparation Replace rotary instruments frequent to avoid overuse
Roots Training Center Khartoum Sudan Endodontic Motors & NiTi Rotary files NiTi Rotary Files Golden Rules for NiTi Rotary Preparation Avoid Cutting With the Entire Length of File—the more file engaged in the root canal , the higher potential for instrument fracture . This total or frictional fit of the file in the canal will cause taper lock and fracture. 8. Don’t Start and Stop —sudden changes in the direction of a rotary caused by the operator must be avoided. A smooth gentle reaming motion is most efficient; rotaries should be inserted and withdrawn from a canal while rotating . 9. Length Contro l is Critical—working length should be well established 10. Don’t rotate a file inside a dry canal
