title: Uses of ultrasonic instrumentation in endodontics.
abstract: Ultrasonic instrumentation has added a new horizon to endodontic treatment possibilities.  It is a tool in the arsenal of instruments currently used by almost every endodontist in the United States.  The use of ultrasonic instrumentation was formerly confined solely to periodontics, but has slowly come to be an indispensable tool in endodontics as well.
