Abstract
The root concavities represent an important anatomical characteristic. In the regions of the middle thirds of dental roots are the greater widths and depths of the concavities.There are also the richest areas in periodontal ligament, representing the fulcrum of the teeth. Between 4 and 6 mm, on average for all human teeth, is the middle third.From 4mm,you can find the furcation, that is, at the beginning of the middle third of the root, you can also start a bifurcation. In addition, clinically, when we performed the probing, when we reached 4mm in the analysis of insertion loss, we can use this measurement as reference for a diagnosis of furcation lesion. All these characteristics call attention to the need for periodontal instruments that adapt more adequately to the root. Existing instruments, while effective in a certain way, do not have the appropriate design for the treatment these regions. they are very useful for anatomical regions convex or almost flat, but not for the concave. It is important to emphasize that without the correct root decontamination, we perpetuate, mainly in the concavities, a niche of bacterial deposit. Thus, the process of loss of the dental element is potentiated and in the course of this process, the risks of chronic degenerative diseases related periodontitis. It is Periodontal Medicine in evidence. Therefore, after a critical analysis of this question, by studying the research line of the University of Sao Paulo, of which my Masters and Doctoral these were part, I developed a curettes Kit. These instruments are unpublished and of excellent application, both for the clinician and for the specialist. The active parts of the curettes have a drawing, which facilitates the adaptation of the same to the concavities of the dental roots, by medial and distal, especially in the middle thirds, considerably improving root decontamination during the escaping procedure. They may also be used, in regions of root trunks, furcation or at the clinical criterion.
