How to Connect NITI Files to EMR for Real-Time Monitoring.

In root canal treatment, the concept of working length is of great importance.

The length from the apex to the reference point is defined by the dentist, and he or she proceeds with the file manipulation at that length.

…working length, reference point, rubber-stopper, I hate those! 

This is because it is likely to be an inaccurate operation. 


I believe that the hidden reason why not a few dentists dislike root canal treatment is because of these "troublesome analog rules" on endodontics. 

In particular, I did not feel confident in manipulating the NiTi file as per the working length, relying on the rubber-stopper, and I felt very uncomfortable.

I have always been frustrated that I wish I could manipulate the NiTi file while measuring its length in real-time with the EMR, just like the hand SS files.


To link the NiTi file to the EMR, the shortcut to a solution is to have the EMR clip grasped by the NiTi file. However, this would make the NiTi file extremely difficult to handle in the oral mouth.

So I decided to interpose a thin current-carrying cord, called "Endomini" between the EMR clip and the NiTi file.

As a result, I was able to use the NiTi file while taking real-time measurements with the EMR, which proved to be extremely comfortable to operate. Since then, I have been using this "Endomini" whenever I use NiTi files.


Let’s explain with the pictures below.

The look of Endomini

It consists of a clip that grips the NiTi file and a metal loop that connects it to the EMR side.




When in use, it will look like this...






This product Endomini, can be purchased in Japan from a dental materials company called FEED Dental.

The Sealer-Puff After the Root Canal Obturation, the Relationship Between Root Canal Irrigation

  The sealer-puff is a characteristic appearance of sealer overflow outside the apical foramen on the confirmatory dental photograph after root canal filling.  This is caused by a small amount of sealer overflowing outside the apical foramen when the dentists pressurize the area around the apical constriction to achieve a tight root canal filling. It is also caused by sealer penetrating the lateral branches of the apical-delta due to pressure at the apex. The sealer puff is, after all, an overflow of foreign material into the periapical tissue of the root apex. Of course, dentists must always try to prevent foreign material to overflow from the root apex into the apical periapical tissue. However, if we take into account the cause of sealer puffs, we can evaluate them from a different perspective. Sealer puffs are... The area around the root apex is properly cleaned and free of debris, ensuring the patency of the root canal. And Be caused by the application of a good flow of sealer to
