While instrumenting, it was hard for my hand file to get to working length and get to the apex. What endo hack can you do to get to the apex faster? Change your rotary file system altogether. Open the canal coronally a bit to remove coronal interferences that could be binding your file. Irrigate with more sodium hypochlorite. Use a hedstrom hand file instead of a K file. None Question 8 Unfortunately, once I started my obturation, I noticed my obturation was short. What is NOT a possible reason this happened? The metal filling gave an incorrect reading while getting my working length. The reference point was off. The canal was under instrumented. My gutta percha was too small.
