There are a few steps that are covered during every trip to the dentist, including identifying the problem areas, visualizing the problem, and then eliminating the problem. But there is one infection elimination technique that dentists can incorporate into that cycle, but many do not use, according to Philip Mollica, DMD, who spoke at the Updates in Contemporary Dentistry Meeting.
Dr. Mollica told the audience in attendance that they should consider incorporating ozone into the elimination portion of their routine examination.
Simpler Safer and More Effective Means to Superior Endodontics
One hears a great deal about exceptional endodontics tied to the latest rotary nickel titanium (NiTi) instrumentation systems. You already know that you are going to have to make the glide path using K-files, instruments that have been the impetus for the introduction of rotary NiTi. Thus, you are immediately confronted with a dichotomy: using the very instruments you do not want to use so that you can implement a system that minimizes their extended use. Does it not strike you that a more logical approach would be to do away with an approach (K-files) that begs for a more effective system?
