Dentsply rotary endo system8/10/2023 ![]() I have also been using the new Protaper Ultimate absorbent points and gutta-percha points as they have been designed to work perfectly with the files and are colour-coded to match the different file sizes. It’s also another reason why I like the new Slider file as it seems to cut really well, it is quite resilient in small canal spaces and I find it really efficient for the majority of cases. Sometimes if a file is too flexible it tends to soften the cutting effectiveness and you have to work them a bit more and it takes longer to achieve the same result, whereas Protaper Ultimate remains as efficient as ever. ![]() There has been no compromise with the cutting efficiency of Protaper Ultimate. You can also feel less drag going into curved or complex canals, compared with what you would have originally felt with an original F1 or F2. The narrower the instrument the more flexible it will be and there is much less chance of file breakage. With a narrow taper, the prep is conservative and it feels and performs a lot safer in calcified or very curved canals. While I’m not completely convinced by the extremely narrow tapers that some systems now offer, I believe Protaper Ultimate strikes a very good balance. This requires narrower tapers that conserve more of the tooth structure. This chimes with the preference of many endodontists who now lean towards a minimally invasive approach. A new approachĪ noticeable improvement in Protaper Ultimate is its narrower taper. The Shaper file then continues the crown down concept by bringing the taper down more into the apical third, then you are ready to go straight on to the finishing file sequence. The Slider file, which combines the original Proglider and S1 files, establishes the glide path whilst extending the initial orifice opening thanks to its flared top. Shaping, 3D cleaning and filling root canal systems and it uses three file types, namely the Slider, Shaper and Finishers. The treatment concept is based on three core pillars. Now building on the success of Protaper Gold, Dentsply Sirona has launched the fourth generation of Protaper endodontic files – Protaper Ultimate.ĭesigned for clinicians who perform frequent endodontic procedures and wish to expand the range of anatomical treatment they provide, I’m glad to see that Protaper Ultimate still retains the file sequence so familiar to users of Protaper Gold. Protaper is a file system that has evolved and yet has stood the test of time without any great change in its original design. ![]() A rotary system is my file system of choice especially when it comes to retreatments. I have always preferred using rotary systems because of their versatility and ability to treat any type of case from the easiest to the most complex. I have been a staunch advocate of the Protaper file system since it was first launched in 2001, and despite testing out a number of different file systems over the years, both rotary and reciprocating, it is the system that I have always returned to.
