Consultants’ Comments

  • “Efficiently engages, cleans and shapes canals.”
  • “Good cutting efficiency.”
  • “The files cut very well and very quickly. Opened up the orifice very well for very clear visualization.”
  • “The files were great. The instructions were more difficult. Maybe a visual flow chart would help with which file to use when.”
  • “Great for curved calcified canals.”
  • “They provide a clear, systematic approach to cleaning and shaping canals. Makes molar endo much more streamlined.”
  • “I found the files to be significantly less flexible and efficient than the files I normally use. I had difficulty navigating some canals.”
  • “Cleaning/shaping did not seem to be consistent in the final 0.5-1 mm at the tip of the root.”
  • “There are too many files in this system.”
  • “Little different feel to my usual files, needed to be comfortable with them, but easy to get used to.”

Comments for Manufacturer

  • Request for narrower taper files.
  • Improve flexibility.
  • Please provide better instructions and a detailed instruction sheet.
  • The files seem to lack the flexibility of Edge, and are also more difficult to insert into the orifice. They perform similarly to the original ProTaper. I was reluctant to continue using them due to these factors.
