This report introduces a novel technique that allows a safe and predictable canal negotiation, creation of a glide path and canal preparation with reciprocating nickeltitanium or stainless steel engine-driven instruments in canals where the use of rotary and the newly developed reciprocating instruments is contraindicated. In this novel technique, the instruments are used in reciprocating motion with very small angles. Hand files are not used regardless of the complexity of the canal anatomy. It also allows achieving predictable results in canal negotiation and glide path creation in challenging canals without the risk of instrument fracture.

Failures occur in dentistry as a result of manny factors some of which can be controlled by the operator whilst others are unavoidable. The long-term success rate of endodontic treatment has often been thought to be very high although studies reported in the literature do not support this perception. The number of failure can be reduced by adhereing to accepted treatment procedures and by avoiding 'short cut'. Endodontic disaters are usually related to operator errors and they mat have detrimental effects on the outcome of treatment in the long term, eventually becoming catastrophes. Endodontic disasters will require special techniques to salvage them whereas catastrophes usually result in loss of the tooth and every effort should be made to prevent such problems from occurring. This presentation will cover common errors in endodontic procedures especially access opening, canal negotiation, canal irrigation, canal preparation, canal filling, post preparation.ration.

This study aimed to reveal that a local city was recreated by tourism, and to discover a general process in which the regional identity as a tourist destination was reconstructed. Specifically, firstly, this study suggested that the social construction of cultural tourist destinations was composed of a series of dynamic stages such as 'reinterpretation', 'institutionalization', and 'recognition' conceptually. Secondly, the dynamic stages were analyzed on the ethnographic study of Otaru where the movement of preservation of the historical canal was raised and strategies to attract tourism had been implemented. Thirdly, a main mechanism acting on each stage was examined. In conclusion, it was shown that the region was reinterpreted through the politics of identity and the meaning was institutionalized through political and economic negotiation. Moreover, while being established as a constructed authenticity by politics of memory, the regional identity was embedded in the socio-spatial consciousness constantly.
