Discussion• Limitations
• The aim was to determine what anatomical characteristics and GGb size might be related to outcome of RDT or perforations.
• Root anatomy is complex• Only tested factors were measured• Other factors could include: force applied to hand
piece, the physical properties of the dentin, the unique qualities of anatomy we did not measure

Discussion• Comparison of Results to Previous Studies:
• Kessler and Peters 1983• They had no perforations with size 2 or 3 GGbs• This agreed with our results• They had thinner walls near the bifurcation• Not analyzed in our study, but 5/6 perforations were
near the furcation• They found the thinnest sections 2.8 mm apical to
furcation• We found highest perforation rate 5 mm apical to
furcation

Discussion• Comparison of Results to Previous Studies:
• Berutti 1992• Berutti only studied anatomy – no instrumentation• He found the thinnest dentin 1.5 mm apical to
furcation, only 1.2-to 1.3 mm thick• He concluded this was the level at highest risk for
perforation• We did not look at 1.5 mm level• Our perforations took place 5/6 at 5 mm apical to
furcation, and none at 3 mm, 1 at 7 mm apical to the furcation

Discussion• Comparison of Results to Previous Studies:
• Pilo 1988• Pilo studied premolars• Pilo used sequence of k-files to size 40, we filed to
size 25. • Pilo showed a statistical difference with regard to
size 2 GGb vs. 4 GGb with regard to RDT• Our study showed statistical difference of size 5 GGb
to other sizes with regard to RDT. Sizes 2-4 were not different with regard to RDT
• Our study results showed half the perforations with size 4 GGb, the other half with size 5 GGb

Discussion• All direct comparisons must be made
with caution due to the differences in study design and methods

Conclusions• 1) The sizes 2 and 3 Gates Glidden
burs, used in a step-down fashion to a level 7 mm apical to the furcation in lower molars, appear to be safe within the confines of this study. These sizes had no perforations in our study, which agrees with previous studies.

Conclusions• 2) A size 5 Gates Glidden bur should
not be used apical to the furcation in the mesial root of a humanmandibular molar.

Conclusions• 3) The size 4 Gates Glidden should
rarely, if ever be used apical to thefurcation in the mesial root of a human mandibular molar. If used, it should not be advanced > 3 mm apical to the furcation.

Conclusions• 4) Due to the wide variability of root
anatomy characteristics and interactions involved, each tooth should be evaluated separately prior to treatment.

Conclusions• 5) The clinician should use caution
when stepping-down in roots with pre-operative dentin/cementum thicknesses less than 1 mm near the “Danger Zone”. Other interactions of root anatomy characteristics and instrument diameter should be considered when stepping-down with Gates Glidden burs.
