Case Details

The SV file (Orifice modifier/Opener): It is a 20/.10 file which is used for mechanical pre-flaring for reducing the coronal interferences. Thanks to the heat treatment, this opener file is having controlled memory effect despide its large taper. It has an overall length of 19 mm, which –together with the prebending ability- allows using this instrument in restricted areas of the oral cavity. The working Part of the SV file is 9mm to allow controlled mechanical Preflaring not beyond the coronal third of the canal The cross-section of this file is Convex triangular, which gives the file great strength while having high cutting efficiency PX Navigator file: This file is used for glide path preparation. It is 15/.03 file with martensitic behavior. This makes the file having high cyclic fatigue resistance and long TTF (time to fracture). It has a controlled memory effect making the file following the curvatures of the root canal without any restoring forces, thus avoiding transportations. The cross section of this file is “Parallelogram”, having 50% less contact with the dentinal wall of the root canal walls, thus reducing the torsional load on the file. The debris space is quite large, which-together with the variable pitch- allows coronal evacuation of debris G1 File: The G1 file is a shaping file having 20 tip size and 4% taper. This file is very benificial in shaping complex anatomies such as, deep splits where the controlled memory properties as well as the small tip size allows it to be directed precisely into the desired location after prebending. Once the file is inroduced into the anatomy, it doesn’t rebound maintaining the original shape of the canal without overcutting on the danger zones (areas of minimal dentin thickness). The cross section of the file is triangular which has the advantages of reduced metal core (enhancing the flexibility in curved canals) as well as high cutting efficiency. The G2 files: The G2 files are having 25 tip size and are present in two tapers (4% and 6%) The presence of two tapers allows progressive and gradual preparation of the root canal whenever needed. The cross section of the G2 files is triangular. Owing to the metallurgy and cross-section of the MG3 Blue, the 25/.06 G2 file is having unique flexibility and cyclic fatigue resistance compared to other files having the same size and taper. The G2 4% file can be used in body shaping and can be used as a finishing file in cases with anatomical limitations such as severely curved canals. The MG3 Blue files are machined with variable pitch and helix, allowing:  Efficient coronal evacuation of debris  Absence of screw-in tendency This would also reduce the torsional load on the instrument that would otherwise occur due to debris accumulation or excessive friction with the root canal walls.
