Description
A specialized dental tool called a Mani Short Barbed Broach is essential for endodontic (root canal) procedures. This thin instrument is made of round wires and has a serrated or notched surface that creates tiny barbs all the way along it. These barbs are crucial for holding onto and carefully extracting pulp tissue from the delicate and complex root canals of teeth. Their construction enables accurate and effective tissue removal. On the other hand, there are also smooth broaches that act as pathfinders inside the root canal. They are mainly used to explore and navigate the canal, creating a clear path for later tools like endodontic files or barbed broaches. They have a smooth, unnotched surface. Both varieties of broaches are essential to the endodontic procedure. Smooth broaches guide initial access, while barbed broaches excel in pulp tissue removal and canal preparation. This tandem approach ensures effective cleaning, shaping, and disinfection of the root canals, ultimately preserving the tooth and preventing the need for extraction due to infection or damage.
