Biomechanical Preparation– A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Biomechanical preparation in endodontics is a multifaceted process crucial for the success of root canal therapy. This abstract synthesizes key insights from a literature review, encompassing historical perspectives, contemporary techniques, and challenges in this dynamic field. The review delves into the historical evolution of endodontic instrumentation, highlighting the challenges posed by dilaceration and curved canals. It explores the interplay between traditional hand instrumentation and modern rotary systems, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach. Structural concerns arising from the impact of contemporary rotary systems on canal walls are discussed, along with the intricacies of selecting irrigation systems for optimal debris removal. The importance of achieving centralization in root canal preparation and the challenges associated with the removal of intracanal medicaments are underscored. The review also addresses the constant evolution of biomechanical preparation techniques, necessitating continuous education for practitioners. Overall, this abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the historical, contemporary, and evolving aspects of biomechanical preparation in endodontics.
