Endodontic device for detecting root canal morphology

摘要

Endodontic device comprising an endodontic instrument ( 1 ) for being inserted in a dental root canal, comprising extensometer means ( 4 ), from which a signal can be obtained that is a function of the deformation of the instrument ( 1 ), and processing means ( 6 ) for receiving and processing the signal to provide a medical operator with information on the stress acting on the instrument ( 1 ), and consequently on the morphological characteristics of the dental root canal.
