- Used in endodontics for refining the access cavity and removing hard materials within the pulp chamber
Uses
- Access Cavity Refinement:
- Used to finish the margins and walls of the access opening
- Removing Obstructions:
- Primary application is for eliminating hard materials such as dentin overhangs, calcifications, and restorative materials (like gutta-percha remnants) from the pulp chamber and the coronal third of the canal
- Retreatment Procedures:
- A key tool in the initial stages of non-surgical endodontic retreatment to prepare the canal for further instrumentation
Features
- Material:
- Made from steel with a 76μm heavy coarse diamond coating for improved cutting and abrasion
- Design:
- A thin, straight design, 18mm long with a 5% taper, allowing for access in confined areas
- Compatibility:
- Works with Acteon Satelec Newtron and Suprasson ultrasonic generators
- Irrigation:
- Designed for direct irrigation to the tip for efficiency and cooling
- Autoclavable:
- Can be sterilized for reuse
Benefits
- Precision:
- Allows for precise material removal, reducing the risk of damaging healthy tooth structure
- Efficiency:
- The diamond coating effectively removes tough materials and calcifications
- Improved Visibility:
- Helps remove obstructions to improve visualization of canal openings
- Versatility:
- Useful for various steps in endodontic access and retreatment
- Safety and Comfort:
- Irrigation helps manage heat, enhancing patient comfort
