Can't Find Palatal and MB2 Palatal MB2 School Me on This MB2 I Couldn't Get Into School MB2 Dumping my collection of intraoral MB2 pics. Two of these were on second molars this week. These are after using Munce discovery burs to push mesially, not apically, and then opened cornally with 17/06 Edge Endo. These two from this week I was not able to get my 6C hand file to length initially, but once opened with the 17/06 it was pretty easy to get to length. It is quite an amazing file. The purpose of this thread is to show how the access of some molars look during their first RCT. The MB2 and beyond thread is amazing, but most of the pictures show RCT retreats or RCT through crowns. I'm going to focus on teeth that have not been crowned in this thread, mostly irreversible cases. I'm doing this all at magnification 2.5 to show that it does not take a microscope to treat teeth like this. I give all credit to John Khademi and the Hank's Definitive Guide to the MB2 and Beyond board on dentaltown.com for teaching me how to do this. I hope this will help those looking to get into molar endo, I will try to document how the chamber looks before uncovering the MB2s in the future. ■ 11/20/2015 hogtooth Member Since: 07/19/12 Post: 2 of 90 Sweet! This is helpful. How far are you dropping the 17/06 to open the orifice? Are you using it on all orifices, or just those where you are having trouble filing to WL? ■ 11/20/2015 justsnatchit Member Since: 10/28/10 Post: 3 of 90 I let the 17/06 "suck down" the canal as far as it will go. I don't force or push it, just let it eat. Then go back with and 6 or 8C file, work that as far as it will go, and repeat. I use the 17/06 for all canals. The goal is to get that file to length on every canal. Once this is accomplished, 20/04-35/04 is fairly smooth sailing. Occasionally if the canal is super-tight at the apex I will need to go back and forth with a 17/04 and a 17/06 until I can get the 17/06 to length. ■ 11/20/2015 Kanna Member Since: 08/01/13 Posts: 7 & 8 of 90 I use 10 and 15 files to working length before grabbing rotary. Are you saying you use both rotary and hand files together to reach the working length, instead of having hand file reach WL first? I wonder if that's better than the method I have been using. I use my method because hand filing first can reduce separation of rotary instruments. And how is the Munce discovery bur better than, let's say, high-speed diamond burs? And how do the C files compare to K files? Or H files? ■ 11/20/2015 60 JULY 2016 // dentaltown.com http://www.Dentaltown.com http://www.dentaltown.com/MessageBoard/thread.aspx?a=11&s=2&f=113&t=271822&g=1 http://www.dentaltown.com/MessageBoard/thread.aspx?a=11&s=2&f=113&t=262843&g=1 http://www.dentaltown.com http://www.dentaltown.com
