Description
Assorted 25mm Lentulos consist of a lentule spiral and is a dental instrument used to properly distribute root canal sealer and cement evenly throughout the root canal system.
Lentulos are rotary instruments used in dentistry for the application of restorative materials in the root canals of teeth. They are made of stainless steel and have an elongated cylindrical shape with a spiral tip that allows a homogeneous distribution of the materials inside the root canal.
Dental students must learn to use lentulos correctly to obtain optimal results in restoring teeth. It is vitally important to select the appropriate lentulo according to the size of the root canal and type of restorative material to be applied.
The procedure for using the lentulos involves preparation of the root canal through the use of files and irrigation with disinfectant solutions. The restorative material is then loaded onto the tip of the lentulo and inserted into the root canal, where it is gently rotated to distribute the material evenly.
Lentulos are especially useful in the application of liquid or semi-solid restorative materials, such as root canal sealers or endodontic cements. In addition, they can be used in the application of medicines for the treatment of infections or inflammations in the root canal.
It is important to note that the use of lentulos must be done with caution to avoid damaging the pulp tissue of the tooth. Dental students should receive adequate training on the selection and use of lentules, as well as on the correct technique for their application in root canals.
In summary, lentulos are valuable tools in restoring teeth by applying materials to root canals. Dental students must learn its correct use and application to obtain optimal results in the restoration of teeth.
