Uso do ultrassom em diferentes etapas operatórias do tratamento endodôntico

Abstract

In dentistry, some sources are used to help and facilitate tools in solving complex cases, highlighting the use of ultrasound used in different operative stages of endodontic treatment. Due to the different clinics, the objective of this literature review is the use of ultrasound in the different operative stages of endodontic treatment. Scientific papers were searched in the database BVS, Medline, Scielo, Pubmed and Academic Google using the following descriptors, in the last 10 years, using the following keywords: “Ultrasound”, “Application” and “Endodontics”. The use of ultrasound has ended up being a facilitator in the clinical practice of dentists who work in endodontics, assisting in different operative stages such as locating root canals, enhancing the irrigating solution and removing fractured instruments, boosting predictability and clinical time of cases performed, minimizing unnecessary dentin wear, increasing safety for the execution of procedures and, with that, a greater preservation of the dental structure.
