• Constant in-and-out movement
• Do not force in the apical direction
• Check the instrument before each use
• Working time of each instrument: 5/10 sec. maximum
• These instruments should not be immersed in a sodium hypochlorite solution.
• Instrument decontamination: strictly follow decontamination instructions from the manufacturer.
• Irrigate abundantly and frequently
• Establish a reproducible glide path using hand files, at least an Iso 015 size.
• Use in a constant rotation at a speed of 150-350 rpm with light apical pressure.
• Clean flutes frequently and check for signs of distortion or wear.
• For optimal usage, torque control devices are recommended.
• Multiple use disinfection and resterilization cycles may lead to increased risk of file separation.

6) StEP BY StEP INStRuctIONS (NaRROW caNaLS)
As each clinical case is different: The operating sequence described hereunder, effective in the majority of
cases, should be adapted depending on the anatomy of certain canals.

Working length
apical 6 ProFile
Determination of the exact working length (example: 22,5 mm):
- Manual K-File +X-ray check: the K-File is used purely as a depth gauge, the K-File is used after the
first ProFile has reached the minimum estimated working length less 3 mm (ex.: 21-3 = 18 mm).
®
The Crown-Down will be continued until the exact working length.
- apex locator (optional): continue Crown-Down up until the foramen, using an apex locator as
reference.
