NiTi alloys and root canal anatomy: Shaping the future of endodontics
In recent years, technological innovations have profoundly transformed the approach to endodontic treatment, making it more efficient and less invasive. This progress has elevated modern endodontics, increasingly orienting it toward achieving clinical success through techniques that promote the preservation of tooth structure, now recognised as a key factor for the long-term survival of the treated tooth.
Within this context, new conservative martensitic files have been developed through innovative manufacturing processes. These instruments are characterised by high flexibility, as well as by diameters and tapers specifically designed to ensure safe and effective shaping, adaptable to a wide range of clinical scenarios. This contributes to improving the overall predictability of treatment outcomes, ultimately supporting a more effective and reliable multidisciplinary rehabilitation of patients.

Dr. Francesco Iacono
More courses with Dr. Francesco IaconoGraduated in Dentistry from the University of Catania in 2007, followed by a Master’s Programme in Clinical Endodontics at the University of Bologna in 2008. The academic and research career includes international experience as a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Oral Biology, Medical College of Georgia (USA), in 2008 and 2011. Over the years, there has been extensive collaboration with Italian universities, including the University of Bologna and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, serving as Adjunct Professor and being actively involved in teaching, research activities, and clinical tutoring.
Active Member of the Italian Endodontic Society (SIE) and Certified Member of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE). In 2015 and 2017, awarded the prestigious “Francesco Riitano” Award by the Italian Endodontic Society (SIE) for the best scientific contribution on instrumentation, innovation, and respect for root canal anatomy.
Author of the book “L’otturazione canalare con cementi bioceramici (Root canal obturation with bioceramic sealers)”, published by Edra in 2025, as well as numerous scientific publications, with a particular focus on instrumentation and root canal obturation. Regular lecturer at national and international courses and congresses in the field of Endodontics.
