Abstract

ABSTRACT

C-shaped canals are anatomic variants in root canal morphology. This c-shaped configuration should be diagnosed earliest as it influences the management of such cases more efficiently. They pose challenges in shaping, cleaning and obturating protocols. We require a file system which can contact and shape all possible surfaces of the c-shaped canal. Some of these file systems are XP-endo shaper files (FKG), SAF (ReDent NOVA). For cleaning, advocated systems are XP- endo finisher files (FKG), SAF, ultrasonic files like irrisafe, sonic files (endo-activator), endo-vac system. 3-D obturation should be done wih downpack and backfill technique (warm vertical or continuous wave of compaction)
