Removing Separated Files

Remove broken instruments with Ultrasonics, safely and predictably.

A separated file will immediately change the level of complexity and involvement of an endodontic case by altering the outcome of cleaning, shaping, and filling of the canal. The use of magnification and ultrasonic instrumentation is an excellent alternative to removing a separated file. The procedure starts with a circumferential reduction of the dentin wall using a diamond coated ultrasonic tip (E4D or E18D). Subsequently, a plain tip (E5 or E18) must be placed in contact with the separated file and then activated. The vibration will loosen and dislodge the file. 

E18

E18 – Isthmus

The Isthmus tip is used for selective dentin removal in ishtmus or low access areas, and it is an excellent choice for retreatments, clearing root canal and removing Gutta-Percha.

E18D

E18D – Isthmus Diamond

The Isthmus D tip is specially developed to treat ishtmus or low access areas in which end and side cutting action is necessary. 

E4D

E4D – Long Diamond

The E4D provides safe and effective side cutting or pulpal floor dentin removal. Essential in enlarging access and troughing groove walls.

E5

E5 – Conical Long

The E5 is used for very fine troughing around canal obstructions such as Thermafil carriers, silver points, separated instruments, posts, and to remove cement layers.
