Smart Endodontics


Endodontic irrigation should begin upon orifice expansion and proceed until the apical termination is devoid of any organic and inorganic debris. Begin by assembling the EndoVac system chairside according to the packaging assembly instructions. ALWAYS DOUBLE BIB / NAPKIN YOUR PATIENTS WHEN USING ENDOVAC TO AVOID ANY DAMAGE TO CLOTHING.
Step 1: Gross Debris Evacuation with the Master Delivery Tip The Master Delivery Tip (MD T) overcomes several clinical problems. First, it avoids excess sodium hypochlorite from spilling into the patient's mouth regardless of arch. Second, it provides frequent and abundant flow of irrigant while maintaining the desired effect of a constant "brim full" level of irrigant. Position the MDT such that the metal cannula within the MDT is placed just inside the access opening of the tooth. Deliver irrigant via syringe and excess fluids will be instantly evacuated simultaneously. The MDT is used during coronal flaring and after each instrument change to remove gross debris arising from instrumentation.
Step 2: Coarse Debris Evacuation with the MacroCannula After all instrumentation is completed, use the MacroCannula in the Titanium Handpiece to remove coarse debris while using the MDT to ensure an abundant supply of irrigant. In this step, the MacroCannula and the MDT are used at the same time. It is helpful to have a dental assistant deliver the irrigant with the MDT while the clinician works the MacroCannula up and down each canal to within a few millimeters of the apical termination.
Step 3: MicroCannula Microscopic Debris Evacuat ion Finally, using the MicroCannula on the small Titanium Fingerpiece, the MicroCannula is placed to Working Length. The MDT delivers sufficient irrigant as the MicroCannula draws the solution the full length of the root canal evacuating microscopic debris less than 100 microns in size.
