- Widely considered the most versatile component of the system because it combines an intermediate diameter with the flexibility of Nickel-Titanium
Uses
- Curved Canal Repair:
- Specifically used to navigate significant curvatures in the root canal to place MTA or bioceramic cements
- Internal Perforation Repair:
- Reaching difficult-to-access holes in the canal walls that are positioned "around the corner"
- Pulp Capping & Apexification:
- Delivering material for standard endodontic repairs where the clinician wants the ability to pre-bend the tip for a better ergonomic angle
Features
- NiTi "Memory Shape" Technology:
- This is the standout feature. The needle can be manually bent to a specific angle to reach a target site; once sterilized in an autoclave, it returns to its original straight shape
- N°1 Intermediate Diameter (1.10mm):
- Color-coded Red, this size is the "universal" choice, fitting most standard-sized canal preparations
- High Flexibility:
- Unlike the rigid "Classic" or "Hooked" series, this needle can flex during insertion to follow the natural path of the tooth
- Replacement Set:
- Packaged as 1 N°1 Red NiTi Needle, 8 red plastic plungers, and 1 cleaning curette
Benefits
- Unmatched Accessibility:
- Allows the clinician to treat complex anatomy that rigid needles simply cannot reach, increasing the success rate of tooth-saving procedures
- Precision and Control:
- Delivers a pre-compacted 4mm cylinder of material, ensuring the repair is dense and free of air voids, even at the end of a curved path
- Durability and Memory:
- The ability to "reset" the needle shape in the autoclave means the tool maintains its structural integrity and performance over many uses
- Reduced Clinical Stress:
- Because the needle adapts to the canal rather than the clinician having to force a rigid tool, the procedure is safer for the patient and easier for the dentist
