Introduction

Renowned Japanese dentist Dr. Hidetaka Ishizaki recently provided detailed feedback on two clinical cases where he used Rogin’s SF-shape rotary file for root canal treatments. His insights emphasize the effectiveness and precision of the SF-shape rotary file in endodontic procedures. Here, we delve into the specifics of these cases to highlight the capabilities of this advanced dental tool.

Case 1: Maxillary Left Second Molar

 

Patient Profile

– Age/Gender: 40-year-old female

– Symptoms: Biting pain on maxillary left second molar, tender to percussion, no spontaneous pain.

– Diagnosis: Large caries with exposed pulp

Procedure

  1. Preoperative Steps: Removal of caries and temporary buildup with flowable resin.
  2. Canal Preparation:

   – Instruments Used: TORNA SF-shape rotary files

   – Steps:

     – Enlargement of root canal orifices with the orifice opener of the SF-shape rotary files.

     – Working length measurement followed by canal preparation up to 25/.04 with the SF-shape rotary files.

   – Irrigation: 2.5% NaClO solution.

  1. Filling and Restoration:

   – Filling: Size 25/.04 Gutta percha and CSBS.

   – Restoration: Tooth was built up with a fiber core and restored with a metal crown.

 Case 2: Mandibular Left Second Molar

 Patient Profile

– Age/Gender: 27-year-old male

– Symptoms: Spontaneous pain at left lower molar region, unable to sleep due to pain, responsive to percussion, positive to electrical pulp test.

– Diagnosis: Deep caries at the distal aspect, vital pulp not exposed initially.

Procedure

  1. Initial Treatment: Indirect pulp capping with MTA putty.

   – Outcome: No improvement in symptoms, leading to a decision for pulpectomy.

  1. Canal Preparation:

   – Instruments Used: TORNA SF-shape rotary files

   – Steps:

     – Access opening revealed necrotic coronal pulp.

     – Preparation of thin and curved mesio-buccal and mesio-lingual root canals, and oval distal root canal.

     – Used SF-shape rotary files 16, 20/.04, and 25/.04 for distal root canal preparation.

   – Measurement and Patency: Apex locator used for working length measurement. Preparation confirmed apical patency and maintenance of original root canal morphology.

   – Irrigation: 2.5% NaClO solution with each file change.

  1. Filling:

   – Mesio-buccal and Mesio-lingual Canals: Filled with 20/.04 Gutta percha.

   – Distal Canal: Filled with 25/.04 Gutta percha and CSBC as a single cone.

Conclusion

Dr. Hidetaka Ishizaki’s feedback on using the SF-shape rotary file underscores its efficiency in root canal preparation and its ability to maintain the original canal morphology. These cases illustrate the reliability and precision of the SF-shape rotary file in managing complex endodontic treatments. The advanced design of the SF-shape rotary file not only facilitates smooth and efficient canal preparation but also ensures patient comfort and successful outcomes.

By integrating the SF-shape rotary file into clinical practice, dental professionals can enhance the quality of endodontic treatments and achieve superior results, as demonstrated in these cases by Dr. Hidetaka Ishizaki.
