History of Endodontics:

Since its inception in the 17^th century, Endodontics has undergone numerous advances, developments and continuous research. In his book “Le chirurgien dentiste”, Pierre Fauchard describes the dental pulp, therefore invalidating the conventional theory of the tooth worm. Further research and knowledge regarding the root canal systems in the tooth have resulted in an array of endodontic treatment modalities, enhancing endodontic health.

What are dental Endodontic materials?

Endodontic materials are used to clean, shape and fill the root canal system of teeth in which the pulp tissue has been destroyed. Pulp devitalization materials, Endodontic files, root canal irrigants, obturation materials and root canal filling materials aid the dental professional in delivering quality endodontic treatment.

What does endodontic treatment comprise?

Endodontic treatment involves removal of the infected or degenerated pulp tissue followed by biomechanical preparation of the root canal which results in eradication of the infective agents that caused pulpal degeneration. Root canal irrigants and intracanal medicaments further reinforce this process. The cleansed and shaped root canal is then filled with an inert substance such as gutta percha along with root canal sealants.

What are the dental endodontic material categories?

Materials used in endodontic therapy may be categorized according to their usage in the phases of treatment as:

• Access Cavity Preparation
• Clean
• Shape
• Fill/Obturate
• RC Irrigants & Root Repair
• Core & Posts
• Dental Files
• Dental Reamers

Access Cavity Preparation:

The first step in endodontic treatment involves the access cavity preparation which ideally results in gaining a straight line access.

Endodontic burs such as the round bur with collar, non end cutting bur aid in preparing the access cavity and deroofing the pulp chamber. Canal probes can be used in locating the root canal orifices.

 

Clean:

Pulp devitalization materials help render the infected pulp, non vital facilitating extirpation.

Barbed broaches help extirpate the degenerated pulp tissue.

Gates Glidden drills are used to enlarge the coronal and middle portions of the canal through bulk removal of the tooth structure.

In retreatment procedures, gutta percha solvents dissolve the existing root canal filling which makes the process of removal smoother.

Peeso reamers are used for bulk removal of debris and gutta percha.

 

Shape:

Biomechanical preparation of the root canals is carried out to shape them, to suitably receive a permanent filling material.

Gates Glidden drills are used to enlarge the coronal and middle portions of the canal through bulk removal of the tooth structure.

Endodontic files such as K files, H files, K flex files, NiTi files and others, available as hand operated and rotary instruments are used in shaping the canal.

Materials such as EDTA act as chelating agents assists in negotiating calcified canals.

 

Endodontic Files:

Endodontic files have been engineered in both hand operated and rotary systems. They are the primary instruments used in shaping the root canal. Currently files made of stainless steel and nickel titanium are available. NiTi files having excellent flexibility and shape memory properties are highly useful in endodontic treatment of teeth having curved canals and dilacerated roots.

 

Fill/Obturate:

Obturation or obliteration of the root canal in the three dimensional filling of the entire root canal system with an inert filling material. An ideal obturation material should be impervious to moisture, bacteriostatic, radiopaque, sterile, be easily inserted into the root canal and removed if necessary.

Based on the biomechanical preparation gutta percha points are selected as master cones and accessory cones to ensure a hermetic seal.

Root canal sealers serve as fillers to overcome minor discrepancies between the walls of the root canal and the core filling material. They further are useful in obturating lateral canals, lubrication, radiopacity and ensuring an impervious seal.

 

 RC Irrigants & Root Repair:

Root canal Irrigants are used in combination with shaping instruments to loosen debris, pulp tissue and microbes so that they can be removed from the canal. Sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, EDTA, MTAD are among the frequently used RC irrigants.

Accidental perforation of the floor of the pulp chamber, furcation or any other part of the root canal although undesirable happens in certain situations. Root repair materials such as MTA, GIC, Biodentine and PRF serve as remedies in such scenarios.

 

Core & Posts:

When dealing with endodontic treatment of severely mutilated teeth, where the remaining tooth structure is less, posts and core build up materials are used to reinforce the tooth so as to increase its resistance to occlusal forces.

Posts are available as steel posts, ideal for posterior teeth and fiber posts which are more esthetic options when dealing with anterior teeth.
