Endodontic Files and Broaches
Endodontic Files and Broaches
If you perform endodontic procedures in your practice, you’ll need to invest in the right endodontic files and broaches to properly clean, shape, enlarge and taper the canals. These instruments are typically made of stainless steel or nickel-titanium, and can be hand files, barbed broaches or machine driven. They can be used with rotary or reciprocating endodontic handpieces. The machine driven files are used in obturation of the root canal to help ensure procedures are successful. The non-cutting tip is the most popular file, but most manufacturers offer tapered tips in various lengths for the best fit in any apical canal. The files can be used in different techniques and the cross-section of a file may be symmetrical, asymmetrical or triangular.
What Types of Endodontic Files and Broaches Are Available for My Practice?
There are a variety of endodontic files and broaches available, including:
Barbed Broaches
Hand Files
Rotary and Reciprocal Files
File Holders
What Should I Consider When Selecting Endodontic Files and Broaches?
These instruments are often sold in kits that include different tapers that should be used in proper sequence. Before starting treatment, it’s important to determine the canal’s optimal taper and the best file for the procedure. When purchasing a machine driven file, look at the construction material, tip type, rake angle, tip variety and length, technique used and cross section. Remember to ask about rake angle because this is typically the best indication of the type of file you’re purchasing.
