- These are specialized files designed for safe and effective passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) during endodontic procedures
- Used after the primary root canal preparation to enhance cleaning and disinfection of the canal system
Uses
- Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI): Used to activate irrigation solutions, such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), within the root canal to improve debridement and disinfection.
- Debris Removal: Efficiently removes dentinal debris, the smear layer, pulp tissue, and bacteria from the root canal walls.
- Apical Cleaning: Ensures thorough irrigation of the entire root canal, including the complex apical area.
- Improving Seal: PUI with these files helps improve the quality of the final root canal filling seal.
Features
- Non-Cutting Tip: The files have a blunt, non-sharp, rounded end designed to prevent damage to the apical constriction and canal walls.
- Material: Made from a special, heat-treated stainless steel alloy for efficient transmission of ultrasonic vibrations and durability.
- Size and Length: The F43806 variant is a K25 size file with a 25mm length, making it suitable for larger or longer canal anatomies.
- Pre-bendable: The material allows the file to be pre-shaped to navigate curved roots effectively.
- Compatibility: Designed for use with standard ultrasonic handpieces and Acteon Satelec Newtron generators.
- Packaging: Sold in a pack of four files.
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety: The blunt end significantly minimizes the risk of apical perforation or canal wall damage, ensuring a safer treatment procedure.
- Superior Cleaning and Disinfection: The shape and ultrasonic activation improve micro-streaming and micro-cavitation in the fluids, leading to more efficient bacteria and debris removal.
- Preserves Canal Anatomy: The non-cutting, parallel-fluted instrument respects the natural anatomy of the root canal, allowing for a minimally invasive protocol.
- Improved Prognosis: Effective PUI enhances the outcome of non-surgical endodontic treatments by ensuring a cleaner canal system.
- Versatility: The ability to pre-bend the file makes it adaptable for complex and curved root canal anatomies, offering excellent clinical versatility
