Race family Endodontic NiTi rotary files

Foreword Race (Reamer with Alternating Cutting Edges) With the appearance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy, the domain of endodontic instrument production discovered a material which is flexible, extremely elastic, resistant and bio-compatible. Working in continuous rotation became possible, through which a simplicity of use and incomparable time savings were achieved. Most conventional reaming instruments (in stainless steel) are designed like screws, having one or more cutting helixes. The file design was not adapted to the new alloy, therefore, when used in continuous rotation, one main...

Exclusive Elimination of screwing-in effect Alternating cutting edges The exclusive patented file design avoids screwing‑in effect and allows a better control of the instrument’s progression Optimal cutting efficiency Triangular cross-section with sharp edges Cuts better and faster, without any pressure (1) The smaller core grants a higher flexibility (2) and allows a better progression in curved canals More space for debris removal (3), improving debris evacuation to avoid instrument blocking 1 Sharp edges for an optimum cutting 2 Thin core for increased flexibility 3 More space for debris...

New finish on metal handles for contra-angle The aim is to provide easy identification of the ISO diameter (wide ring) and of the taper (narrow ring). The information remains visible when the instrument is inserted in the head of the contra-angle. Handle length 12 mm with Crominox coating, paint marking of ISO and taper codes ISO diameter code Taper code Depth marks On instruments of length 21/25/31 mm only Allow determination of the instrument's position with X-ray and control of the working length Silicone Endo stop To mark working length, radio opaque The stroke identifies the original...

Golden rules Optimal use of Race instruments Speed: 600-1'000 rpm - Torque: 0.5-1.5 Ncm, depending on instruments. Gentle back and forth movements without using force. Light hand, let the instrument do the work. Work for 3-4 seconds, remove. Clean the blade and irrigate the canal. Which motors can the Race files be used with? Unit motors, to reach the minimum recommended speed of 600 rpm: Air motors 20'000 rpm: use a contra angle 32:1 reducer Electric motors 40'000 rpm: use a contra angle 64:1, 70:1 reducer Endodontic motors, corded or cordless like the Rooter: Set the speed to 600-1'000...

Available sequences ScoutRace, for mechanised glide path preparation Sequence of 3 instruments with .02 taper and with ISO sizes of 10, 15 and 20. Designed to mechanically prepare the glide path of root canals: straight, with severe curvature or «S» type. Race ISO 10, for preparation of calcified or narrow canals 3 instruments all with a size of ISO 10 and with .02, .04 and .06 taper. Designed to permeabilize calcified or very narrow canals when manual K files of ISO 06 or 08 cannot progress further. BT-Race, biological and conservative The ready to use BT-Race sequence is sterile-packed...

The Race instruments are also available as sets of individual sizes: - ready to use sterile products in blisters - non-sterile products in blisters or conventional plastic boxes BT-Race sequence is exclusively available in sterile blisters and intended to single-use. Only additional BT-Race 40 and BT-Race 50 files are proposed in individual sizes For more information, FAQ, videos on Race instruments, please visit www.fkg.ch

FKG was given a new lease of life in 1994, when Jean-Claude Rouiller took up the reins. A CEO with a vision, he set out a strategy based on innovative products and on the concept of machinery specially manufactured for the dental industry. Mr Rouiller also enlarged the distribution network to encompass more than 80 countries worldwide. FKG products are certified according to international norms and standards. The Swiss Venture Club named FKG «Western Switzerland Company of the Year 2012», a reward for the company’s dynamism, high product quality, and its continuing innovation. « Western...
