Pre-endodontic rehabilitation of badly mutilated teeth with canal projection technique
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Broken down molars or perforations are common findings and their comprehensive rehabilitation prior to endodontic therapy is an issue that needs to be addressed. Currently, rubber dam is the Standard of Care for isolation during endodontic treatment. Grossly destructed teeth always pose a problem to the operator during the rubber dam isolation This case report describes the innovative concept of using ‘Projector Endodontic Instrument Guidance System’ (PEIGS) known as projector using hollow plastics as sleeves. Alternatives, such as Hypodermic needles as sleeves were tried with similar outcome.
