Precision measurement control in endodontics.
A technique for measurement control in endodontic therapy is presented. The technique, which involves the use of a 10 mm segment of plastic ruler mounted on the end of a mirror handle, eliminates the inaccuracies associated with rubber stops and other devices used for measurement control. It gives the dentist precision control of instrumentation, which is vital to the development of a dentinal matrix at an optimum position.
