- A compact, cordless endodontic motor used in root canal procedures to automate canal shaping and cleaning with nickel-titanium (NiTi) files
Uses
- Root canal preparation:
- The primary use is in modern endodontic therapy for mechanical debridement and shaping of the root canal system using rotary NiTi files
- Removal of gutta percha:
- It can also be used in retreatment cases to remove existing gutta percha material from the canal before reshaping
Features
- Cordless and portable design:
- The handpiece operates without a cord, providing no space limitations during operation and an ergonomic, compact body
- Customizable settings:
- It offers five programmable memory functions for different settings, including gear ratio, torque, RPM (rotational speed), and direction mode, allowing for use with most major brands of NiTi files
- Automatic reverse function:
- The motor features an auto-reverse function that automatically stops or reverses the file's rotation if the actual load exceeds the preset torque limit, which helps prevent file separation within the canal
- Miniature angle head:
- The handpiece is equipped with a mini angle head, which improves visibility and access during oral procedures
- Low vibration:
- Precision processing technology minimizes vibration, contributing to a smooth operation
- Automatic power-off:
- The unit will power off automatically after 4 minutes of no operation, conserving battery life
- Rechargeable battery:
- It uses a rechargeable battery system with a charging time of approximately 2.5 hours, providing a use time of around 8.5 hours
Benefits
- Enhanced efficiency:
- Automating the root canal preparation process with rotary files enables faster and more efficient procedures compared to manual filing
- Improved safety:
- The automatic stop and reverse functions significantly reduce the risk of file breakage (separation) due to excessive torsional stress, enhancing patient safety
- User-friendly operation:
- The simple interface and ergonomic design make it easy and comfortable for dentists to use, even in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth
- Versatility:
- Compatibility with various file systems and multiple programmable settings allows practitioners to tailor the device's operation to specific clinical needs and file requirements
