Overview:
Even if not new in endodontics, the reciprocating motion has been recently applied to specifically designed nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments. Reciprocation has reduced the risk of fracture due to torsion and the accumulation of metal fatigue, which are the main shortcoming of rotary NiTi instruments. After 4 years of extensive clinical use, research, and teaching of all these instruments, the lecturers will describe and explain the several advantages that are related to the use of this kind of movement.
Reciprocating instruments are very easy to be used and taught, the learning curve is extremely short and optimal clinical results can be obtained earlier than other rotary systems. It became very simple, safe, and fast to complete successfully even the most difficult clinical cases while maintaining the maximum clinical standard of a high-level practice and drastically reducing possible errors and problems related to root canal preparation. All these aspects will be extensively and critically analyzed and discussed giving particular attention to the research conducted on the reciprocating instruments on the market and the clinical step-by-step of these techniques.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• Know the history of reciprocation in endodontics
• Describe the basic concepts of modern reciprocation
• Describe the basic properties of the different reciprocating instruments
• Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the reciprocating movement
• Perform new strategies for optimize root canal preparation with reciprocating instruments.
