Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an endodontic instrument for boring a tooth of a patient, in particular a root canal boring instrument, said instrument having a longitudinal axis and having a working zone corresponding to a first end, said end. free of the instrument, this working area being arranged to form and / or shape and / or cut the inner wall of said root canal, said working area being connected to a holding tip arranged to be fixed on a support which corresponds to a second end of the instrument.
  • the cleaning and shaping of the root canals of a tooth in order to receive filling substances is carried out by the use of boring instruments having an active part, said working part, which purpose of shaping, cutting and cleaning the inner walls of the root canal to prepare it for receiving treatment materials and a
  • Most dental canal boring instruments include an active portion, referred to as a sectional section, having a conical envelope and one or more cutting edges helically wound along said active portion.
  • This helical size of the instrument is essential to allow the evacuation of dentine debris to the outside of the root canal.
  • the tapered portion of the instrument which is the work area, may experience a sheathing phenomenon of winding material torn from the channel along the helix and forming a sheath. which renders the instrument totally ineffective.
  • this instrument when this instrument is introduced in the canal and rotated by a handpiece equipped with an electric motor, it may happen that it is screwed into the channel, which has the effect of blocking it, this blocking up to its break.
  • Japanese Publication JP 59 019120 discloses an instrument that has a work area that includes adjacent straight segments that alternate with twisted sectors. However, these segments have uniform sections along their length, and the flutes do not fit within a conical envelope. In addition, the cross-sections of the instrument in the work area do not have variations that are both beneficial to the function "material cut of the channel wall” and to the function "evacuation of the cut material along of this wall ".
  • Another quality that a good endodontic instrument must have is the efficiency of the cut. This property makes it possible to work in the dentine without causing too much heating, not to smooth the canal walls and thus to block the tubulis of the dental root with infected debris. Good cutting efficiency also allows the instrument to work with less torsional stress, which reduces the risk of breakage of the instrument in use. In addition, good cutting efficiency allows the operator to work with a lower working torque, resulting in increased patient safety in case of torsional breakage. Finally good cutting efficiency allows a faster root treatment that avoids excessive cyclic fatigue in the curvatures of the root canals that the instrument must follow during operation.
  • the present invention proposes to make such an instrument that meets these two somewhat antinomic requirements while maintaining an effective cutting function and anti-screwing function in order to provide professionals with safe tools that enable them to perform the following tasks. required tasks and to ensure patient safety,
