During what is supposed to be a routine root canal procedure, dentists are often thrown a curveball in the form of a tortuous or calcified canal or some other complication. For the seasoned endodontist, those curveballs can suddenly alter your treatment plan and possibly bring treatment to a grinding halt. And for the general dentist who may be less accustomed to dealing with complex cases, what begins as a typical appointment can end in a referral to an endodontist.
Fortunately, EdgeEndo’s EdgeTaper Platinum rotary file system allows both general dentists and specialists to navigate complex canal anatomies with ease. And, thanks to the proprietary FireWire heat treatment that gives these NiTi files unmatched flexibility and strength, dentists can say goodbye to file breakage or separation.
“As endodontists, our goal is to clean and shape every canal referred to us, including the difficult ones,” explained Dr. Paul Kaplan, who discovered that EdgeTaper Platinum files allow him to “more efficiently and effectively negotiate challenging canal morphologies and reach the apices in almost every case.” He said this system saves time, enhances the patient experience, and improves ergonomics, allowing him to work “without much pressure on my hands or wrist fatigue.” After using EdgeTaper Platinum for this DPS evaluation, Dr. Kaplan says it is now his “new go-to file system, especially for the more difficult cases.”
