Cleaning and shaping a root canal are two inseparable concepts of endodontics. Shaping facilitates the penetration of disinfecting solutions into the deepest regions of the root canal system, including those that cannot be reached by instruments.
The Revo S® is a new system and the concept of the asymmetrical cross section and adapted Pitch is of particular interest. Modifying the pitch and the crow section of this instrument has made it possible to limit the screwing effect of the file in the canal considerably and to improve flexibility. In this lecture, the guidelines for use of these instruments will be described. Manufacturers’ recommendations are presented and modified by use of Revo S® to achieve the fundamental principles of endodontics published by Herbert Schilder more than thirty years ago.
Objective: To understand the advantages of the adapted pitch concept, and to describe how to use Revo S® instruments to shape root canals in accordance with contemporary endodontic principles.
To understand the outcome predictors for endodontic success
To understand the importance of file design
To understand the clinical application of the new Revo S system
