What file is used in a root canal?
Endodontic files and reamers are surgical instruments used by dentists performing root canal treatment. They are used to clean and shape the root canal removing dead, damaged or infected material to the opening at the apex of the tooth root. Using the files provides a shape that is receptive to subs equent filling.
What is ProTaper file?
ProTaper files have a changing helical angle and pitch over their cutting blades, which reduces the potential of an instrument from inadvertently screwing into the canal. 6. The ProTaper files each have a noncutting, modified guiding tip.

What is the difference between K file and h file?
All K-files are mainly intended for rotary motions inside the canals. On the other hand, H-files are specially designed for shaping canals after they are previously cleaned and enlarged with K-files. They are made out of the ground wire and have a tear-drop cross-sectional shape.
What is the difference between K files and C files?
C-files are stiffer than K-files, and are recommended for calcified canals and ones that are curved and narrow.
Are ProTaper files NiTi?
ProTaper Next files are made with proven M-Wire NiTi. This patented alloy offers greater flexibility than traditional NiTi for navigating even challenging canals. It also provides greater resistance to cyclic fatigue, the leading cause of file separation.
Who invented ProTaper?
Now you’re one of the inventors of ProTaper, along with Professor Pierre Machtou and Dr. John West. And because this represents a success story of the highest caliber, we often get questions from clinicians wanting to know how it all got started.
Are K files end cutting?
Standard K files have an “active” (cutting) tip. Specifically, the tip of a standard K file is quite sharp due to the acute transition from the tip to the fluting. An active tip results in an increased possibility of ledging and canal transportation.
What are H files used for?
An H file is a header file referenced by a document written in C, C++, or Objective-C source code. It may contain variables, constants, and functions that are used by other files within a programming project. H files allow commonly used functions to be written only once and referenced by other source files when needed.
