A. Endodontics What is endodontics? Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that treats diseases of the endodontium, the interior part of the tooth. Its main aim is to save natural teeth so that they keep all their masticatory functions and appearance of a healthy tooth. To remove all infected tissues and all bacteria, chemical and mechanical treatment of the canal system is required, and this is where FKG stands out with its range of instruments. Root treatment takes place in four stages: opening and accessing the canals, glide path, preparation and root filling. Retreatment may also be...

02 Opening and accessing the canals The opening stage of the tooth is paramount and this procedure should be minimally invasive to spare dental tissue and to avoid weaken the crown. The occlusal part must be hollowed out and, working progressively downward, the entire pulp tissue must be removed to clear entrance to the canals. Once the straight line access is free, you will find all the necessary instruments in the FKG range to carry out root canal treatment.

2.1 F-Search After the pulp chamber has been opened, the steel F-Search file is used to locate and clear the entrance to the canals. 2.1.1 F-Search. Rigid (ISO 20, taper0.05), the file is endowed with a cutting tip. 2.2 Gates und Peeso The Gates and Peeso instruments are reamers used to widen and straighten the coronary part of the canals allowing better access for shaping instruments. Their use is strictly limited to the straight portion of the canals. The risk of perforation is significant if they are used in a curved canal or when cutting laterally. 2.2.1 Gates. The Gates instruments are...

2.2.2 Ultrashort Gates XS . Thanks to their compact size, the ultra-short Gates XS instruments allow better access to posterior teeth. Their short handle (10 mm) is particularly well adapted to small headed contra-angles. Recommended speed 1200 rpm. 2.2.3 Peeso. With parallel cutting edges and a guiding rounded safety tip, the Peeso reamers are more rigid and aggressive than the Gates. Recommended speed 1200 rpm. 2.3 PreRace The PreRace files ensure the same operation as the Gates and Peeso but more safely thanks to their anti-screwing in design, rounded safety tip and larger taper.

2.3.1 PreRace. Available in Steel or NiTi, the PreRace files allow a side to side milling motion without being too invasive or risking perforation. They are used in the coronary and straight part of the canal to remove interferances and to facilitate access to the canal. Recommended speed 600 rpm.

03 Glide Path After opening the cavity access, localising and widening the canal entrance, the canal can be penetrated with Steel or NiTi, manual or rotary files to allow probing and debridement of the canal. To determine and confirm the working length (WL), use x-rays and an apex locator.

3.1 Hand les In Steel or NiTi, the standard ISO sizes 6 to 40 in hand endodontic fi les have a rounded safety tip which is an exclusive FKG feature and also have an ergonomic handle, the SafetymemoGrip (SMG). Thanks to its larger rear diameter, the ergonomic handle offers a better grip. Situated on the end of the handle, there is an 8 segmented “use” indicator. After each treatment, a segment is scratched thus preserving information concerning the number of cycles of use and sterilisation. When all segments are scratched the instrument is discarded. The hand fi les are also available with...
