Module 2

Biomechanical Preparation

Files to be used: K files/ H files
 Correct method of filing
 Initial techniques- hand filing
 Till what size???- criteria of determining the size
 Step back technique : most commonly used
 Crown down technique : tedious
 Hybrid: forms the basis of rotary endodontics
