Glide Path Management

Working length and patency are so interrelated they must be discussed together. The breakthrough to apical one-third finishing procedures is canal patency. And it's performed by gently pushing small highly flexible files to the radiographic terminus.

In this Just-in-Time segment, topics include

• Root canal system anatomy
• Negotiating the apical one-third
• Determining working length
• Confirming patency
• Securing the glide path
