Description
Dentsply M Access K Files are high-quality stainless steel dental instruments specifically designed for use in endodontics, which is the branch of dentistry focused on root canal treatment. These files are essential tools used by dentists to clean and shape the root canals of teeth during the procedure. One of the notable features of Dentsply K Files is their unique cross-sectional designs. From sizes 6 to 40, the files have a square cross-section, allowing for efficient removal of debris and dentin from the root canal walls. For larger sizes, starting from size 45 and onwards, the files have a triangular cross-section, providing effective cutting and shaping capabilities in the more challenging areas of the root canal.

The recommended motion for using Dentsply K Files is a clockwise rotation combined with half-turn twists. This motion helps to navigate the files smoothly through the root canal while minimizing the risk of instrument separation or damage to the tooth structure. Dentsply is known for providing a comprehensive and affordable range of hand files, including their K Files, to dental professionals. The aim is to simplify and streamline the root canal treatment process, enabling dentists to work with efficiency and precision.

Direction to use

Prepare the tooth: Begin by administering local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Then, isolate the tooth with a rubber dam to prevent contamination from saliva or other oral fluids.
Gain access to the root canal: Create an access cavity in the tooth using a high-speed dental handpiece and appropriate burs. This step allows you to reach the pulp chamber and gain access to the root canal system.
Establish working length: Determine the working length of the root canal using an apex locator or radiographs. This measurement helps ensure proper instrumentation and irrigation.
Initial exploration: Begin with a small-sized K File, such as size 06 or 08, to explore the canal and remove any initial obstructions or debris. Use a gentle clockwise rotation combined with half-turn twists as recommended.
Gradually increase file size: Progressively increase the file size based on the anatomy of the canal, moving from smaller to larger K Files. Each file should be used until it reaches the working length without applying excessive force.
Maintain irrigation: Regularly irrigate the canal with an appropriate irrigant solution, such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), to flush out debris and disinfect the canal. This step enhances the effectiveness of the cleaning and shaping process.
Recapitulation: After using a larger file, recapitulate with a smaller-sized file to ensure debris removal and maintain the working length.
Use the appropriate motion: As mentioned earlier, use a clockwise rotation combined with half-turn twists. This motion facilitates smooth navigation and reduces the risk of instrument separation or tooth damage.
