Dr. Anish Naware (Endodontist) in Episode 3.6 of Instrumentor Series 3 discusses Understanding Taper in Modern Endodontics and how selecting the right taper plays a crucial role in effective root canal treatment.
In this episode, Dr. Naware explains the evolution of root canal preparation from the traditional 2% taper used in earlier endodontics to the modern approach that focuses on better cleaning of lateral and accessory canals. He highlights why both extremes can be problematic smaller tapers may not effectively act on lateral canals, while larger tapers can remove excessive tooth structure and weaken the root.
Dr. Naware emphasizes the importance of choosing a Conservative Taper, recommending 5–6% taper as the most clinically effective option for most root canal procedures. This approach supports efficient canal cleaning while preserving tooth structure, aligning with the principles of minimally invasive endodontics.
If you want to better understand how taper selection influences both cleaning efficiency and tooth preservation, this episode offers valuable clinical insight.
