EndodonciaNíquel-Titanio en endodoncia. |
RESUMEN
La aleación de níquel-titanio ha entrado en el mundo de la endodoncia. La literatura publicada hasta la fecha es aun escasa, pero tras su revisión, el autor concluye que la flexibilidad del níquel titanio hace de el un material ideal para utilizar en la fabricación de instrumentos de endodoncia. Las limas de NiTi, tanto manuales como mecánicas, tienen capacidad potencial para mejorar la capacidad de los clínicos para instrumentar sistemas de conductos radiculares curvos. Es necesaria más investigación para poder definir mejor las limitaciones y fuerzas del NiTi, y para determinar los diseños de lima y las técnicas a utilizar para sacar el máximo partido de este exclusivo material. |
Palabras clave: Instrumentos para conductos radiculares.
ABSTRACT
Nickel-Titanium alloy has entered the world of endodontics. The references we have concerning this material are few, but after reviewing them the author concludes that the flexibility of nickel titanium makes it an ideal material for use in the manufacture of endodontic instruments. NiTi files, both hand and rotary, have the potential to greatly improve the clinicians ability to instrument curved root canal systems. Future research is needed to better define the limitations/strengths of NiTi, and to determine the file designs and techniques to take best advantage of this unique material. |
