Endodontics
Both sonic and ultrasonic instruments are used in dental procedures, particularly in endodontics and scaling. They generate vibrations that help in the removal of debris and biofilm. A key feature of these instruments is that they require the use of copious amounts of irrigating solutions to enhance their effectiveness, cool the instrument, and flush out debris. While they may also be used for flaring coronal portions of root canals and can be controlled during operation, the commonality that stands out is the need for irrigating solutions.

EndodonticsThe designation "D2" on an endodontic file indicates the diameter of the file at
the tip, measured in hundredths of a millimeter. This helps clinicians select
the appropriate file size for root canal treatment.

EndodonticsFinally, if the tip of the gutta-percha condensation instrument breaks in the
apical third of the root canal, the most common practice is to simply continue
with the obturation up to the point of obstruction. Attempting to dissolve the
gutta-percha or performing surgery to retrieve the broken piece may not be
necessary and can potentially cause further damage. Instead, the area is sealed,
and the body's natural healing processes are allowed to occur.

EndodonticsClass IV: Crown Fracture with Pulp Involvement
Description: Extensive fracture involving enamel,
dentin, and pulp, often with significant loss of tooth structure.
Endodontic Consideration: Endodontic treatment is
necessary due to pulp exposure. The tooth may require additional
restorative procedures after root canal therapy to restore function and
aesthetics.

EndodonticsOsteogenesis in periapical lesions of average size generally requires a
significant amount of time, typically falling within the range of 6-12 months.
This period allows for the complete healing of bone tissue around the root apex.

EndodonticsVertical root fractures are often associated with a poor prognosis because they can lead to significant loss of tooth structure and are difficult to treat. They typically result in the need for extraction, especially if they extend into the periodontal ligament or if the fracture is not detected early.

EndodonticsExplanation: In the WHO classification, avulsion refers to the complete
displacement of a tooth from its socket, and it is classified under 873.61. This
classification is crucial for understanding the severity of the injury and
determining the appropriate treatment.
