From: Benjamin Schein To: ROOTS Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 6:34 PM Subject: [roots] Exploring with bent instruments and cone fitting Here is another Pearl from ROOTS yesteryear ..Bill Watson’s March 2004. Even though he uses Lightspeed to gauge his terminus most of the time (Plains technique) he shows that even in straight Mandibular bicuspids -exploring with hand files is so important. Interesting series that demonstrates: 1-importance of the exploration phase-this cannot be accomplished with rotary files-hand files are king 2-different angles show different features of the canal and obturation results 3-warm compaction (I forgot to show the rad with only the mastercone and sealer to compare with the warm compaction result-ie, single cone-vs-warm compaction) superiority billBill Watson is also the one who taught me to go back after you think you are done with precurved .06 and .08 and probe for secondary anatomy. I’m no where near as good at it as he is, but he claims that was one of the main reasons he popped so much secondary anatomy on his fills. - gary Damn, that's nice. - Guy W. Moorman, Jr.
