Deep dividing canals




Deep dividing canals, as it regularly occurs with lower and upper premolars, can often be diagnosed by looking carefully at the radiograph. If, somewhere half-way the radix the root canal is suddenly no longer visible on the X-ray this indicates dividing canals.

In an endodontic treatment with dividing canals you should use precurving small hand files. If manipulated well with precurving thinner hand files, you often succeed in making one of the canals accessible and passable. Then more problems are caused by the other canals after dividing. The operating microscope makes preparing such canals much easier because the various canals can be made visible at the place of the dividing. Filling of deep canals is much easier if you use an operating microscope.
