Abstract:

Modern endodontic treatment aims toward the modification and adjustment of the root canal shape according to the need to correctly debride and fill the endo-canalicular system. The preparation of root canals using the Ni-Ti needle system approaches perfection in accuracy as well as in respecting canal anatomy, at the same time reducing the risk of potential preparation errors. This article tries to show in detail the succession of steps in root canal preparation with the help of the manual ProTaper system.
