Endosonics is an ultrasonic synergistic system of root canal instrumentation and disinfection. Specially made endosonic dies and diamond instruments are energized by means of a Cavitron ultrasound generator (above 20 kHz frequency). An endosonic insert is designed to allow the traditional endodontic irrigant, sodium hypochlorite, to pass through and along the endo‐sonic files. The irrigant is activated by the ultrasonic energy imparted from the energized instruments and the root canal becomes an ultrasonic bath. Thus, endosonics is a synergistic system. The ultrasonic energy makes the files vibrate and oscillate, facilitating the instrumentation of the root canal and, in addition, activates the irrigant for canal disinfection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
