The endodontic motors are devices designed to facilitate the endodontic process, since they allow the use of mechanically driven files.This allows the endodontist a greater speed and convenience in the preparation of the endodontic canals.
The endodontic motors are composed of a central body that controls the device, a micro motor, a contraangulo to which the different files are adapted, and sometimes a pedal that allows us to control the different functions with the foot.
All the major brands of endodontic products have their automatic file system and their endodontic motor, so they recommend using their own motor.
But the endodontic motors are completely independent of the file system that we use, so can use any endodontic motor with any file system (except files of reciprocal movement, which must be used with motors that support this function, as we will explain later).
There are a multitude of brands that have endodontic motors that will allow you to carry out our endodontic procedures with guarantees, but before deciding which one to choose, there are a number of important points to bear in mind. And today, we are going to help you to get to know these points so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
The most important points when choosing an endodontic motor:
- Safety: The endodontic motor must be safe and guarantee efficient treatments.
- Intuitive screens: They will help you to know important information during the treatment.
- Integrated apex locator: You do not have to carry two separate devices.
- Available programs: Endodontic motors usually have pre-installed file sequences of their own brand, so if we are clear that we are going to work only with a file system, we should consider buying the same manufacturer's motor.
- Wireless or with pedal: There are endodocia motors that are controlled from the handpiece itself and others that are controlled from a foot pedal. This can be a factor in deciding between one or the other.
- Continuous or reciprocation: All endodontic motors have the function of continuous rotational motion, so that they all can use files designed for this type of continuous movement but only some motors have the function of reciprocating movement, where you will need Reciproc files.
Adaptive movement developed by Sybronendo for endodontics.
The most updated endodontic motors have the function of alternate or reciprocating rotation, so they are most recommended using for the ease of use that saves time. They also allow safe and efficient preparation of the ducts.You can even purchase endodontic motors that include files, paper points and other complementary materials and instruments.
