Rotary files

DiaDent  Helix Files are made of superior Ni-Ti alloy packaged in a lid pop-up box. With amazing flexibility, Helix Ni-Ti files can easily move through canals, even severely curved ones, with ease and efficiency. They offer a smooth and progressive enlargement of the canal with minimum radial land, providing safe and fast instrumentation with deep cutting blades. They match perfectly with DiaDent’s Dia-ProISO GT 04 and 06 taper gutta-percha and paper points. For more information, call (877) 342-3368. |
Miltex  The Liberator Ni-Ti rotary endodontic file features a straight-blade design with a triangular cross-section that eliminates self-threading. The noncutting tip reduces ledging and transportation, while the lack of radial land areas reduces friction. Liberator files run from 1,000 to 2,000 rpm. For more information, call (866) 854-8300 or visit miltex.com. |
Medidenta  The NiTi shaft is made of nickel-titanium for additional flexibility in curved canals. It resists spontaneous breakage and will un-wind and wind up backward before breaking. The conical-shaped, safe-ended tip also reduces the possibility of ledging or transporting the canal. The Ni-Ti radial-landed U-File flute design allows the instrument to replicate the natural anatomy of the canal. For more information, call (800) 221-0750. |
DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties  In user tests, ProFile Vortex files were found to be more efficient than previous ProFile ISO instruments. M-Wire NiTi increases flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue over standard Ni-Ti wire and is available in ISO tip sizes from 15 to 50 and in .04 and .06 taper. For more information, call (800) 662-1202 or visit tulsadentalspecialties.com. |
Aseptico  The successor to the popular AEU-25 Endo DTC, the AEU-26 DTC-2 enables clinicians to build a custom file series from the internal library or their own preferences onto any one of the 5 programmable preset buttons. Compatible with all rotary file systems and custom file settings, preset names may also be added for enhanced versatility. Handpiece calibration ensures torque accuracy. The AEU-26 DTC-2 is upgradeable for a long return on investment. For more information, call (866) 244-2954, visit aseptico.com, or e-mail

JS Dental Manufacturing  Xtreme endodontic files follow the canal with virtually no transportation, ledging, or perforation. The development of a controlled memory material has enabled JS Dental to make the files not only follow the canal like nothing else on the market but also 300% less likely to separate. The files follow the path of least resistance, resulting in a perfectly enlarged canal, preserving tooth structure and making obturation easier. Test results have shown they are able to withstand more than 2 times the torque and angular deflection and 6 times the cylindrical fatigue as Ni-Ti files. For more information, call (800) 284-3368. |
Discus Dental  If you’re concerned about instrument breakage, LightSpeedLSX is the instrument for you. When the instruments experience extreme force or torque, they are designed to separate at the handle instead of at the tip, greatly reducing the risk of irretrievable separation. LSX files are unique amongst rotary Ni-Ti files in that they are nontapered. Their unique “spade blade” cuts only where you need to cut, thoroughly cleaning all walls of the apical third without unnecessarily removing root structure coronally or in the midroot, which can weaken the tooth. For more information, call (800) 422-9448. |
Endo Technic  Master Files are an automated file designed for vertical reciprocation, not rotation. They are a patented, modified Hedstrom design in SS or NT (21, 25, or 31 mm) with a .02 taper and rounded tip for safety. The file design, combined with proper vertical movement, will completely eliminate file separation. They cut like hand files through calcifications and around curves all the way to the apex. Ovoids and fins are cleaned thoroughly with a nice coronal flare for obturation. For more information, call (877) 477-8899 or visit the Web site endotechnic.com. |
SybronEndo  Twisted Files (TFs) are the most advanced Ni-Ti files on the market. They combine 3 proprietary processes to deliver unsurpassed strength and flexibility, including R-phase heat treatment, twisted cutting flutes, and advanced surface conditioning. The result is a safer, stronger, and more flexible file that you can effectively use with a 1- to 3-file technique. For more information, call (800) 346-ENDO (3636) or visit sybronendo.com or tfwithrphase.com. |
Guidance Endodontics  EndoTaper NiTi rotary files are .06 taper and can be used in either a crown-down or step-back technique. They are available in ISO sizes 20 to 50, along with accessory glide path instruments. EndoTaper files are available in 21-, 25-, and 31-mm lengths. The files have corresponding gutta-percha points and obturators. For more information, call (866) 844-3636 or visit guidanceendo.com. |
Essential Dental Systems  The Endo-Express reciprocating handpiece and the SafeSiders instruments, a series of patented, noncircular, noninterrupted, flat-sided endodontic instruments, make rotary irrelevant. SafeSiders provide space for dentinal debris, resulting in fast, nonbinding access to the apex. Eliminate the fear of fracture associated with crown-down systems and the typical shortcomings of the step-back process. Unlike rotary, reciprocation prevents binding. Excessive force is never needed. Replace instruments because they dull, not because you fear they will break—and for a fraction of the cost of other systems. For more information, call (800) 22- FLEXI. |
Brasseler USA  EndoSequence is the first fourth-generation rotary file to be introduced to the endodontic market. By incorporating a patented alternate contact point design, the file stays centered in the canal without the need for radial lands, thereby maintaining the natural flexibility of Ni-Ti. With an electropolished finish, surface imperfections that typically would weaken the file are eliminated and file sharpness is increased. Safety is also maximized with a precision, noncutting tip that becomes fully active at exactly 1 mm. For more information, call (800) 841-4522. |
