摘要
A new ultrasonic root canal preparation system has been developed that electronically monitors the location of the file tip during all instrumentation procedures. The Root ZX has been adapted for this purpose, and its filter circuit effectively cuts out the large spike noise of the ultrasonic unit. During enlargement of the canal, the ultrasonic vibration of the file can be stopped at any desired position on the meter. Extracted human tooth models with electronically measurable canals were used to test the device. Pre- and postoperative shapes of the root canals were evaluated using contact microradiography. The autostop mechanism worked correctly. Using a weak power and fine files, straightening, ledge formation, and file breakage were minimal. It seems that this system minimized the danger of overinstrumentation and could be safely applied in clinical practice.
