Interventions

For this study, radiographs will be performed on 45 patients with endodontic need in multiradicular teeth, with angulation variation in horizontal angulation and ages ranging from 18 years to 50 years
G2- Endodontic positioner
G3- Bisector technique (control). Patients randomized into 3 different groups will be radiographed at orthoradial angulation, and subsequently using the Clark principle, 15 patients using the bisector

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find greater clinical acceptability by professionals and patients of the techniques that use radiographic positioners in relation to the bisector technique, as it does not require the patient to hold the radiographic film in position with his thumb, and that the quality of root dissociation obtained by experimental radiographic positioner is superior to the other techniques, using the Clark principle with the aid of the Endoplus radiographic positioner, experimental radiographic positioner and bisector technique, using the orthoradial, mesioradial and distortion angulations and we will evaluate the patient's acceptability and discomfort , acceptability by the dental surgeon and the images will be analyzed for dissociation of the conduits, image distortion, image overlays and partial image formation based on scores. The data obtained will be analyzed statistically, in which we expect to observe a statistical difference between the groups analyzed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Drying Out: Experimental positioner treatment is expected to decrease clinical time during endodontic treatment in view of ease compared to other techniques.
