Description

Mani Short Barbed Broaches is a specialized dental instrument crucial in endodontic (root canal) treatments. Crafted from round wires, this slender tool features a notched or serrated surface, forming tiny barbs along its length. These barbs are essential for gripping and meticulously removing pulp tissue from a tooth’s intricate and delicate root canals. Their design allows for efficient and precise tissue removal. In contrast, smooth broaches are also available and serve as pathfinders within the root canal. They possess a smooth, unnotched surface and are primarily used to navigate and explore the canal, establishing a clear path for subsequent instruments such as barbed broaches or endodontic files. Both types of broaches play vital roles in the endodontic process. Smooth broaches guide initial access, while barbed broaches excel in pulp tissue removal and canal preparation. This tandem approach ensures effective cleaning, shaping, and disinfection of the root canals, ultimately preserving the tooth and preventing the need for extraction due to infection or damage.
