Henry Schein Brand Endodontic Workflow

ENDODONTIC WORKFLOW

Endodontics is a common branch of dentistry, with many patients needing endodontic treatments during their lives. All about preservation, by diagnosing, treating, and preventing dental pulp and root canal issues, endodontists can save damaged or infected teeth from extraction.

To achieve a successful endodontic treatment, you need the right products, and that’s where Henry Schein comes in. From files to paper points to sealers, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s explore the endodontic workflow after diagnosis step-by-step and see how we can help you achieve a healthy, confident smile for your patients.

STEP 1 - DIAGNOSIS

The most important aspect of performing an endodontic procedure is to first correctly diagnose the tooth. We can advise you on a range of tools to help you understand what’s going on with the patient’s tooth: from digital imaging through to endo sprays.

STEP 2 - ACCESS

Access is the critical phase of endodontic treatment, where the endodontist creates a portal of entry through the tooth’s crown to access the pulp chamber and root canals. With the right tools and precision, the endodontist can remove the damaged or infected tissue, opening the door to successful treatment.

Having access to the best endodontic tools, like Henry Schein’s Maxima Gates Glidden Drill, Peeso Reamers, and Headstrom Files, can make all the difference in achieving a smooth, efficient access and setting the stage for a successful procedure.

Gates Glidden Drill

Stainless steel blunt-ended tip to prevent perforation and aid better tactile sensitivity. For use with slow handpiece to widen the canal orifice.

• 32mm length.

6

Peeso Reamers

For enlargement of cervical part of root canal, preparation of root canal entrance, and pin-hole preparations.

• Stainless steel.

• 19mm working length.

Hedstrom File

Pre-sterilised hand files in easy-to-open blister packs to ensure sterility when using a new file.

• Used to widen the occlusal third of the canal and to smooth the walls of the preparation.

Reamers

• Pre-sterilised hand files in easy-to-open blister packs to ensure sterility when using a new file.

• Used for the preparation of the body of the canal and efficient removal of dental debris.

STEP 3 - EXTRIPATION

Once access has been gained to the tooth’s root canals, the endodontist will perform an extirpation, which involves removing all the damaged or infected pulp tissue from inside the canals. Using precision instruments like files, reamers, and irrigating solutions, the endodontist will thoroughly clean and shape the canals to ensure they’re ready for the next stages of treatment.

Having access to the best endodontic tools, like Henry Schein’s Barbed Broaches, is crucial for achieving the precise cleaning and shaping required during the extirpation step.

HS Barbed Broaches

Sterile barbed broaches in ISO sizes for removal of pulp tissue during root canal treatment.

• Used for apical preparation and can also be used to prepare body of canal.

STEP 4 - DEBRIDEMENT

During the Debridement step, the endodontist removes any remaining infected or damaged tissue from the root canals, ensuring the canals are thoroughly cleaned and ready for the final stages of treatment. This pivotal phase requires precision and efficiency, which can only be achieved with the best endodontic tools.

With Henry Schein's range of debridement solutions, including the HS EDTA Syringe and Maxima K File, endodontists can achieve optimal debridement, removing even the tiniest bits of debris and bacteria from the canals.

HS Disposable Syringe Sterile Luer Lock

3-part disposable syringes.

• Smooth flow, tight, synthetic rubber piston.

• Latex-free, pyrogen-free and PVC-free.

HS Endo Needle Closed End Side Port

Rounded, closed-end needle tips with side-port delivery.

• Tips eliminate hydraulic pressure and ensure a safer delivery of solutions when irrigating root canals and periodontal pockets.

DEBRIDEMENT CONTINUED

K File

Pre-sterilised hand files in easy-to-open blister packs to ensure sterility when using a new file.

• Used for apical preparation and can also be used to prepare body of canal.

HS EDTA Syringe

EDTA at 19% in a syringe format.

• For removal of inorganic substances by chelation.

HS Sodium Hypochlorite

Aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution not exceeding 3.0%.

• Used for the irrigation, debridement and disinfection of root canals during and after instrumentation.

STEP 5 - DRYING

After debridement, the endodontist will dry the root canals to prepare them for filling. Moisture can compromise the effectiveness of the filling material, so it’s important to ensure the canals are thoroughly dried before proceeding.

With Maxima Paper Points from Henry Schein, endodontists can achieve a precise and efficient drying process, setting the stage for a successful procedure. Having access to top-quality endodontic tools can make all the difference in achieving a thorough and precise drying, ensuring the success of the final stages of treatment.

Paper Points

ISO sized absorbent paper points for drying out the root canal.

• Colour coded tips packed in a plastic drawer.

• Sterile

STEP 6 -OBTURATION

During the Debridement step, the endodontist removes any remaining infected or damaged tissue from the root canals, ensuring the canals are thoroughly cleaned and ready for the final stages of treatment. This pivotal phase requires precision and efficiency, which can only be achieved with the best endodontic tools.

With Henry Schein's range of debridement solutions, including the HS EDTA Syringe and Maxima K File, endodontists can achieve optimal debridement, removing even the tiniest bits of debris and bacteria from the canals.

HS Paste Filler

Spirals 25mm length RA.

• Used to carry root canal cement apically in clockwise rotation after there has been a mechanical preparation of the root for treatment.
