Hand filing and rotary instrumentation are two techniques used in endodontics for root canal treatment.
Hand Filing: This traditional method involves using manual files to clean and shape the root canal. It allows for greater tactile feedback and precision, making it ideal for intricate cases. However, it can be time-consuming and physically demanding for the dentist.
Rotary Instrumentation: This modern technique utilizes electric rotary files to efficiently clean and shape the canal. It offers faster procedures and consistent shaping but requires careful control to prevent over-preparation. Rotary instruments are often more effective in navigating complex canal systems.
Both methods have their advantages, and the choice often depends on the complexity of the case and the practitioner’s preference. Combining both techniques can sometimes yield optimal results. Our speaker Dr Gagan Agrawal will take you through this session with this clinical information and what is beneficial for our clinical practice.
