Root Canal Shaping: New Trends and Future Perspectives

Endodontics is experiencing a “new spring” characterized by important technological and methodological implementations.

This period of rebirth is driven by several key factors that are transforming endodontic practice by significantly improving clinical outcomes for patients. Among these improvements, mechanical NiTi files for canal shaping have certainly been greatly improved. In fact, new trends and future prospects in this field focus on technological innovation, the use of increasingly high-performance heat-treated NiTi alloys, new intelligent endodontic motors and the improvement of treatment sequences to increase the efficacy and safety of endodontic procedures.

Learning Objectives:

• Improve knowledge of new NiTi alloy instruments
• Understand the correct use of files also in relation to different clinical situations
