The use of modern physical and chemical methods in canal treatment increases the final success by 65%. In order to improve the quality of therapy in dentistry, endochuck is used - devices that allow combining these 2 methods.
This instrument is a special adapter that fits over the ultrasonic handpiece. With the help of an endochuck, you can connect endodontic files To drill and process root canals low frequency vibrations. This method allows you to qualitatively disinfect the root system before filling, pass obturated canal areas.
When used, what equipment is included
Indications for use:
- Endodontic treatment – cleaning, mechanical channel processing. The vibration generated by ultrasound kills most microorganisms. Endochak allows you to irrigate a file Chlorhexidine, Miramistin, Furacilin, which creates an additional bactericidal effect.
- Canal hardening or its narrowing.
- Re-fillingremoving from the root system cement or resorcinol-formalin mixture.
- When removing a foreign body, a fragment of the instrument remaining in the canal.
To work, you need an ultrasonic handpiece connected to the turbine, and machine K-files (with a weak corrugation of the working part).
Features of use
When working with an endochuck, you need to use the following rules:
- At the beginning of work, the channel should be passed by hand files.
- An endochuck is attached to the ultrasonic nozzle, and an instrument is inserted into it, working length which does not reach the root apex of the tooth being processed by 2 mm (in order to avoid injury to the periapical fabrics).
- The apparatus should be operated intermittently, making reciprocating movements. The session should last at least 2 minutes.
Main types of endodontic adapters
There are several types of adapters:
- ED1 - the endochuck has a working angle of 120 degrees, it is used for processing incisors and fangs;
- ED1T - used with a thin instrument for working in sclerosed canals;
- ES1 - used together with U-files;
- ED8 - for working with wide endo instruments.
The comparative characteristics of various types of adapters with prices are presented:
Modification | Peculiarities | Cost, rubles |
---|---|---|
ED1 | Convenient shape for working in the anterior part of the jaw (incisors, canines) | 1000-1100 |
ED1T | More aggressive processing, well suited for retreatment and unsealing | 1200-1300 |
ED8 | Suitable for working with wide files (45-80), can be used with thin cone burs | 750-900 |
This adapter is used for quality endodontic treatment. There are several varieties of the instrument that allow you to work in any clinical situation.
