Anatomically Centered Endodontics

The goal of any endodontic treatment is to prevent or treat apical periodontitis- microbial control. This goal is achieved through the synergistic effect of the famous endodontic triad: Instrumentation, irrigation, and obturation of the root canal anatomy. 

Anatomically Centered Endodontics, ACE, is a philosophy that embraces all 3 components of the endodontic triad while allowing clinicians to reach microbial control in a minimally invasive, safe, and efficient manner- streamlining endodontic procedures. 

The ACE philosophy incorporates adaptive instrumentation, the XP-3D+, which cleans the canal safely and three-dimensionally reaching areas where traditional round NiTi files are unable to reach. It also involves a special irrigation mixture of NaOCl, chelating agents and surfactants that promotes deep disinfection with the simultaneous dissolution of organic and inorganic matter. This ultra-conservative and disinfected canal can then be obturated using bioceramic technologies that allow for zero shrinkage and bond to dentin thus offering a fluid-tight seal.
