Anatomically Driven Endodontics: New Technologies and Complex Cases

The three-dimensional XP family of endodontic instruments has been modeled to achieve a fusion of technology and biology that integrates all variables essential for predictable endodontic success. The super elasticity and shape-memory of the alloy used in XP instruments facilitate expansion and adaptation into canal morphology where traditional round NiTi files are unable to reach with any margin of safety. This enables maximal debridement and disinfection without changes to the original canal shape and ensures minimal removal of intra-canal dentin. This ultraconservation root treatment can then be filled using bioceramic technologies that do not require excessive preparation in the coronal component of the root canal space to accommodate obturation procedures.
