Abstract

During the past few decades, the development of new techniques and equipment has improved the outcome and predictability of restorative and endodontic treatment. Ultrasonics have contributed a lot in this development. Since its introduction, Ultrasonics has become increasingly more useful in applications such as gaining access to canal openings, cleaning and shaping, obturation of root canals, removal of intra canal materials and obstructions, and endodontic surgery. Currently, although ultrasonics (US) is used in dentistry for therapeutic and diagnostic applications as well as for cleaning of instruments before sterilization, its main use is for scaling and root planning of teeth and in root canal therapy, both for orthograde and retrograde therapy. This review article brushes up the role of ultrasonics in endodontotlogy.
