- Used in root canal therapy to prepare the canal for cleaning, disinfection, and obturation
- Dimensions are 25/.06 21mm
Application:
- Used in root canal therapy to enlarge and shape the canal after a glide path has been established
Uses:
- Enlarging the canal:
- After an initial, smaller glide path file has navigated the canal, the shaping file is used to increase the size of the canal walls
- This creates more space for irrigation solutions to disinfect the canal and for the final filling material to be placed
- Creating a consistent taper:
- The shaping file helps to establish a continuously tapered, funnel-shaped form from the top of the canal to the tip
- This optimal shape is crucial for effective disinfection and for ensuring the final filling material can be placed and sealed properly
- Removing infected dentin and debris:
- As the file rotates or reciprocates inside the canal, its cutting edges shave away layers of the infected inner tooth structure (dentin), removing bacteria and debris
- Conforming to canal anatomy:
- The proprietary heat treatment of the NiTi alloy makes the files highly flexible, which allows them to adapt to the natural curvature of the canal
- This is especially important in molars and other teeth with complex anatomy, as it minimizes the risk of procedural errors
- Minimizing procedural errors:
- By being flexible and following the natural path, the files help prevent serious complications like:
- Canal transportation: Altering the original path of the canal
- Ledge formation: Creating an artificial shelf in the canal wall that can block further instrumentation
- Perforation: Creating a hole in the side of the root
Features:
- Single-file system:
- After creating a glide path, this single shaping file is often sufficient to complete the preparation of the canal
- Advanced heat treatment:
- Files are made from a proprietary heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy. This process increases the file's flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue and torsional stress, reducing the risk of file separation
- Dual motion compatibility:
- The file is designed to work in either continuous rotary or reciprocating endodontic motors, offering dentists flexibility in their approach
- Conservative technique:
- Designed to preserve tooth structure, and this file's design helps minimize unnecessary dentin removal
- Efficient cutting:
- The unique helical design of the file contributes to strong cutting performance
