It might be said that there are as many endodontic instrumentation techniques as there are operators, although no two clinicians perform the procedure in exactly the same manner. Despite differences, there are basic principles (correct diagnosis, adequate access, adequate irrigation, removal of the entire pulp, instrumentation to the minor constriction of the apical foramen, three-dimensional obturation, etc.) whose observance are consistent with long-term endodontic success. As a subset of these time-honored principles, there are guidelines and techniques for apical third "scouting" and instrumentation, which can also be considered universal, irrespective of the particular instruments or technique used for canal preparation. The purpose of this paper is to describe a scouting technique that is designed to optimize the apical part of root canal preparation. The author first heard the word "scouting" used in the context described by Dr. Clifford J. Ruddle.
可以说，牙髓治疗器械操作技术的种类和操作者的数量一样多，尽管没有两位临床医生的操作方式完全相同。尽管存在差异，但仍有一些基本原则（正确诊断、充分开髓、充分冲洗、清除整个牙髓、器械操作至根尖孔的狭窄处、三维充填等），遵守这些原则与牙髓治疗的长期成功是一致的。作为这些久经考验的原则的一个子集，有关于根尖三分之一“探查”和器械操作的指南和技术，无论用于根管预备的具体器械或技术如何，这些指南和技术也可被视为通用的。本文的目的是描述一种旨在优化根管预备根尖部分的探查技术。作者最初是在克利福德·J·拉德尔博士描述的背景下听到“探查”这个词的。
