Introduction
The document introduces PathFile™, a new approach in endodontics developed in collaboration with Dr. Berutti, Dr. Cantatore, and Dr. Castellucci. It aims to make the glide path accessible to every clinician, allowing general dental practitioners to achieve results comparable to specialists.

Advantages of PathFile™
