Endodontic instrumentation has advanced significantly in recent years with a range of powered rotary and reciprocating systems that can make root canal treatment easier to perform. Endodontic electric motors are a part of this advancement as they provide clinicians with the ability to use endodontic files with constant and precise torque suited to the canal being treated. Many of these systems offer programmable settings, automatic reverse functions designed to reduce file breakage, and some even feature integrated apex locators. Some electric dental handpiece systems can even be used for endodontics along with a full range of other functions.
