Abstract

Objective: To present the various uses of ultrasound in clinical endodontics and emphasize its benefits in modern endodontic practice. Literature review: Ultrasound was introduced in endodontics in the mid-20th century by Richman. At first it was used for the removal of calculus in periodontics, which was later improved to a non-rotating system for cutting hard tissues and restorative materials. The use has become more useful in applications such as cavity access with better refinement without irregularities that obstruct the canal and removal of pulp stones, removal of fillings in canal retreatment, optimization of the action of auxiliary chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, ultrasonic condensation gutta-percha, insertion of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), root canal preparation and endodontic surgery. Final considerations: Through the development of technology for years, the only metal used was steel, which over time was coated with zirconium nitride and titanium tips appeared on the market. As for the devices, they have diversified into two types: the first has a frequency that oscillates controlled by the dentist called magnetic ultrasound, while the second is more sophisticated and selects an automatic oscillation according to its use known as piezoelectric.
