Video Highlights
- Creating a good glide path is extremely important for shaping and disinfection of a root canal.
- A key first step is to use small hand files – # 10 hand file loose in the canal.
- After using hand files, then use the mechanized system you are used to.
- Be patient – it takes time to establish the glide path and successfully shape and disinfect a canal.
- The operator is the key to success in endodontics – not the endodontic system used.
