REAL-TIME GUTTA PERCHA (GP) FLOW FOR ROOT CANAL THERAPY (RCT) IN ENDODONTICS DENTISTRY

摘要

Channels in a root canal of a decayed tooth are scaled with a Gutta Percha (GP) mini pellet located at the apical tip of the channel and tubular GP at the side channels. Thermostatic heat and/or ultrasonic vibration can be applied during placement. Further, real time x-rays can be taken to guide the placement and even to at least in part automate the process.
