- This micro-tip is specifically engineered for use in the medium and apical thirds of the root canal during non-surgical endodontic retreatment procedures
Uses
- Removal of broken instruments:
- Its primary use is in the extraction of fractured files and other broken instruments from the canal
- Retrieval of silver points:
- It is ideal for removing silver points or other filling materials in the middle and apical portions of the root canal
- Navigating calcifications:
- The tip can be used to help bypass or eliminate calcified obstructions within the canal
- Non-surgical procedures:
- Intended for general use in non-surgical endodontic procedures requiring a thin, flexible, and resistant instrument
Features
- Material:
- Made from a novel and flexible titanium-niobium (Ti-Nb) alloy
- Dimensions:
- It has a length of 20mm and a 3% taper, making it suitable for accessing deep, narrow, and curved canals
- Irrigation Port:
- Features a spray orifice to ensure continuous irrigation at the tip, enhancing visibility and cooling
- Compatibility:
- Designed to work with the Acteon Satelec Newtron range of ultrasonic generators
- Corrosion Resistance:
- Strong resistance to corrosion allows safe use with irrigants like sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)
- Pre-bendable:
- The titanium-niobium alloy allows the tip to be pre-bent to navigate complex canal anatomies effectively
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety and Precision:
- The flexibility and thin profile of the Ti-Nb alloy allow for delicate interventions with a very high level of control, reducing the risk of canal perforation or iatrogenic damage
- Optimal Ultrasonic Transmission:
- The specific alloy provides superior transmission and better control of ultrasonic vibrations compared to traditional stainless steel tips, improving clinical efficiency
- Increased Success Rates:
- Facilitates the retrieval of difficult obstructions like broken files, improving the overall success rate of complex retreatment cases
- Versatility:
- The ability to pre-bend the tip allows practitioners to adapt it precisely to the unique curvature of different root canals
- Durability:
- The resistance and flexibility of the titanium-niobium alloy provide a durable instrument for demanding endodontic procedures
