HYBROSONIC: Re-inventing Root Canal Obturation Technique using Heat + Sonic Vibration

01 Jan 2012-
TL;DR: An innovative, efficient, fast yet economical method to achieve perfect obturation, enhancing the prognosis of the tooth and fulfilling one of the amin goals of endodontic treatment.
Abstract: HYBROSONIC : The name derives from Heat + Sonic Vibration. The invention relates to Root Canal Obturating Device for fillling of Root Canal after removal of tooth pulp. Root canal treatment is the removal of tooth's pulp, a small thread like tissue in the centre of the tooth. Proper root canal filling should achieve three dimensional obturation of the root canal space to prevent micro organisms from entering and re-infecting the root canal system and to prevent tissue fluids from percolating back into the root canal system to provide a culture medium for any residual bacteria. It should seal all portals of exit to impede any sort of communication or exchange between the endodontium(within the tooth) and periodontium(outside the tooth). If the tooth is not sealed properly the root canal may leak and lead to failure of treatment. Conventional obturation techniques like cold lateral condensation technique and warm vertical condensation technique have limitations and are very technique sensitive hence a novel machine was developed which transforms gutta percha (root canal filling material) into alpha phase and using sonic vibrations the gutta percha is f orced to flow into lateral canals(accessory canals in horizontal planes), thus achieving 3-Dimensional fuild tight hermetic seal and thus preventing any chances of re-infection, and fulfilling one of the amin goals of endodontic treatment. Hence, an innovative, efficient, fast yet economical method to achieve perfect obturation thus, enhancing the prognosis of the tooth.

TL;DR: In this article, a study has been done to enhance the filling of Gutta Percha (material) in biomechanically prepared dental blocks (DENTSPLY) using vibratory energy during compaction.
Abstract: Root Canal Treatment is performed to save infected tooth. The study has been done to enhance the filling of Gutta Percha (material) in biomechanically prepared dental blocks (DENTSPLY) using vibratory energy during compaction. Two groups of samples, each containing ten blocks was obturated. First group samples were obturated with conventional down-pack technique (Heat & Compaction) for varying frequency of vibration at the dental tip (10–100 Hz). Sample weights were recorded before & after filling. This was followed by obturation over the same blocks using new proposed method (heat, vibration & compaction) and the weights were recorded after vibration aid. The same experiment was performed for the second group (of 10 samples) for constant frequency (50 Hz) at the dental tip. A statistical test (Student-t test) for these groups showed 21% enhancement over the conventional method. The variation in the results in the two groups was found insignificant based on 1-way ANOVA.

TL;DR: The in vitro solubility of the gutta-percha and sealer present in 236 tooth sections obturated by four different techniques was evaluated after 2 yr and in only two of the techniques (lateral and vertical) was the sealer loss significant.

TL;DR: Examination of gutta-percha fillings revealed many irregularities in form and condensation, inadequate sealer dispersion, lack of demonstration of canal variations, such as fins and lateral canals, and roughness and pitting in contrast to the smooth surfaces of previously described silicone models.
