When patients hear the word “radiation,” it often causes unnecessary concern. However, modern dental X-rays are among the safest medical imaging tools used today. The amount of radiation is extremely small—comparable to everyday sources we barely notice. For example:

Eating a banana exposes you to natural radiation from potassium; a single dental X-ray delivers about the same amount as eating a few bananas.

Spending a few minutes in sunlight actually exposes you to more radiation than a dental X-ray.

A short airplane flight exposes you to several times more radiation than a full set of dental X-rays.

Advances in technology have made dental X-rays even safer. Older film-based X-rays required higher radiation doses, but today’s digital sensors reduce exposure by up to 90% while producing clearer, more detailed images. These improvements help dentists catch problems earlier and treat them more effectively.

Dentists also take multiple safety measures to protect you, including using lead aprons, thyroid collars, and strictly following the ALARA principle—keeping radiation “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” This means X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis or treatment planning, never without a clear purpose.

In short, the radiation from dental X-rays is minimal, carefully controlled, and far outweighed by the benefits of early detection. Rather than posing a risk, dental X-rays are a vital tool for maintaining your teeth, jaw, and overall health.

How to Properly Use Rotary Files Inside the Root Canal — Without Breaking Them

Rotary NiTi files are excellent tools for efficient canal shaping, but they are also prone to separation if not used with proper technique and care. Below are essential clinical principles that every clinician must follow to ensure safe, predictable use of rotary files inside the root canal system:

✅ 1. Use a Gentle In-and-Out (“Pecking”) Motion — Not Continuous Forcing

Always advance the rotary file in small, controlled pecking strokes, letting the file progressively shape the canal without pushing. Avoid any apical pressure. The resistance felt should be no more than the force required to slightly bend the file against a tabletop.

> Excessive force increases torsional stress and the risk of file separation.

✅ 2. Apply a “Brushing” Technique — Away From the Furcation

When shaping curved or oval canals, use a brushing motion where the file is gently pressed against the outer wall, away from the furcation side (to prevent strip perforation or thinning). This technique helps in coronal flaring and relieves stress on the file.

> This brushing action also helps the file to bypass interferences and passively follow the canal curvature.

✅ 3. Do Not Rush to Full Working Length in a Single Pass

Avoid trying to reach the full working length (WL) on the first attempt with any rotary file. Instead, adopt a progressive pe*******on strategy:

Advance the file incrementally—each time going 2–3 mm deeper than the previous pass.

Allow adequate irrigation and recapitulation between passes to remove debris and reduce friction.

> Trying to force the file to the apex too early leads to file binding and fracture.

✅ 4. Limit Each Engagement to 3–5 Pecking Motions

Each file insertion should involve 3 to 5 pecking strokes only, with each lasting no more than 10–15 seconds. If the file does not advance further, withdraw it, irrigate, and reassess patency with a small hand file (e.g., size 10 K-file).

> Staying too long inside the canal increases both torsional and cyclic fatigue.

✅ 5. Activate the Rotary File Before Entering the Canal

Always start the motor before inserting the file into the canal. Inserting a non-rotating file and turning it on inside the canal can cause sudden engagement, leading to immediate fracture due to uncontrolled torque or canal curvature.

> The file should always be rotating at the correct speed and torque settings prior to contact with dentin.

⚠️ Bonus: Use Glide Path and Recapitulation

Always establish a smooth glide path with hand files (at least size 15–20 K-file) before introducing any rotary file.

Use recapitulation with a small file between rotary steps to maintain patency and avoid blockage.

🧠 Clinical Reminder:

Rotary files do not cut like drills — they need space, lubrication, and patience. Overusing a single file, applying pressure, or neglecting irrigation are the leading causes of rotary separation in clinical practice.

Mastering these principles will drastically reduce the risk of procedural errors and file separation.

In a stunning medical first, surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center have successfully removed a spinal tumor through a patient’s eye socket, redefining the limits of what’s surgically possible. Nineteen-year-old Karla Flores was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive chordoma wrapped around her cervical spine and spinal cord. Traditional surgical routes posed high risks, so the team, led by Dr. Mohamed A.M. Labib, pioneered a groundbreaking "transorbital" method, accessing her spine through the delicate corridor behind her eye.

The technique, once used for brain surgeries, had never been applied to the spine until now. Using cutting-edge imaging, anatomical precision, and refined skills honed through cadaver-based research, the team was able to remove the tumor completely while preserving vital neurological functions. No large incisions. No disfigurement. Just a revolutionary path through an unexpected door.

Karla, now 20, is cancer-free and on the road to recovery after additional radiation and spinal fusion procedures. Her story isn’t just about survival, it’s about courage, innovation, and the extraordinary outcomes possible when medical teams dare to challenge what’s never been done.
