In
today’s class of clinical course, rotary endodontics was discussed. The
materials for performing rotary endodontic were explained in detail to the
students. The advantages and disadvantages of NiTi and Hyflex files were elaborated. The tip size
and taper of the rotary files was demonstrated to the students. The protaper
system, including shaping and finishing files was taught.
The
procedure of using rotary files was explained and shown to the students step by
step. The brushing and pecking motions for files were illustrated. The use of
protaper hand files was also emphasized. Such classes are regularly held at
both centres of AHEAD Academy, Delhi and Mohali. Hero shapers and
Self-Adjusting Files (SAF) systems were also demonstrated. Doubt clearing sessions are also

practice by the institute.
An 18 year old girl complained about bad esthetics due to fractured
front tooth. She gave history of trauma few years ago. Tooth was discoloured meaning
it was non vital when she came for treatment. She was advised to get her
treatment done. Treatment plan included root canal treatment of 21 that is central
incisor of second quadrant. Root canal
treatment included extirpation of non vital pulp from root canals and
obturating with gutta percha cones. Further treatment plan after root canal
treatment included post and core. Post and core is a type of dental restoration
used to stabilise a weekened tooth. In this procedure, post space is created by
removing guttapercha, leaving behind 5-6 mm of gutta percha in the apical
region. Post is inserted into the post space with its protusion (2-3mm) which
is to support a large restoration. After composite build up (core), crown
cutting was done for porcelain fused crown, after which crown cementation was
done with a luting cement. End result included a perfect smile with
satisfaction of patient and good esthetics.
