I
got sealer past this 90 degree turn in the distal root.”

Ultrasonic vs. Sonic Studies Prove:
• That passive needle activation and even low frequency (Sonic)
oscillation (160-190Hz) is simply not sufficient in producing
acoustic streaming or cavitation within the canal space.
“The positive relationship between streaming velocity and
frequency can explain the higher efficiency of PUI [(passive
ultrasonic irrigation)] versus sonic irrigation”
Passive ultrasonic irrigation of the root canal: a review of the
literature van der Sluis 2007
• That activation by means of ultrasonic frequency (30 kHz) not
only generates increased acoustic streaming and cavitation, but
results in significantly improved debridement of canal spaces
and improved penetration of irrigants into dentinal tubules.
