Beyond Rotary: Exploring Vertical Motion in Endodontic Instrumentation

Webinar Overview

Explore the principles, research, and clinical applications of vertical “pecking” motion in endodontic instrumentation. This educational session examines an alternative approach to root canal cleaning and shaping using the Kitsutsuki Contra Endo Motor, with a focus on preserving natural canal anatomy, efficient debridement, and managing complex canal morphologies.

The session includes research comparing vertical motion instrumentation with conventional manual hand files and nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems, a practical demonstration, and clinical case discussions.

Opening Remarks by:
Kazuyoshi Suzuki
Dentist, Inventor, and Medical Entrepreneur
CTO & Representative Director, DXDMed
Pioneer of vertical “pecking” motion in root canal instrumentation
