Here at Greenbelt Dental Associates, we are proud to offer an approach to smoother, more comfortable procedures when conducting root canal procedures. We use rotary endodontic technology to assist with the treatment of a root canal. There are several advantages to using rotary endodontic treatment over traditional root canal therapy, and it all starts with the tools.

Instead of using traditional manual files and stainless-steel instruments to treat a root canal, Rotary endodontics employs electrically-powered instruments to perform treatment on root canals. The hand tool we use is equipped with a tip made of nickel titanium. This material is five times more flexible than stainless steel.

Due to the flexibility, the nickel-titanium instrument is able to perform unique movements that allow the tool to insert deeply into a curved root canal without damaging or stretching the passageway. This allows a more reliable procedure to be done in a quicker manner.

Advantages of Rotary Endodontics

This advanced technology provides more precision and reliability while being a quieter and faster procedure.

• Precision

  The nickel titanium is capable of cleaning out the root canal more smoothly and consistently.

• Reliability

  Root canal procedures have less chance of complications and are more reliable.

• Quieter

  The tool is much smoother and quieter. This provides the convenience of having the procedure done without the loud grinding that is experienced with manual files.

• Faster

  The fast treatment time, coupled with instruments that are quieter, creates a more comfortable experience for patients.
