Description
HYFLEX CM Ni Ti files represent a significant advancement in root canal instrumentation. These files are manufactured using a unique process that carefully controls the material's memory, resulting in exceptional flexibility with no re-bound. Unlike conventional Ni Ti files, these files do not possess shape memory, allowing them to closely follow the intricate anatomy of the canal. This reduces the risk of complications such as file separation, binding, and common issues like ledging, transportation, and perforation.
Features and Benefits
- The files are extremely flexible, without the shape memory of conventional Ni Ti files.
- This flexibility enables them to closely follow the canal's anatomy, reducing the risk of ledging, transportation, or perforation.
- Files can be pre-bent, similar to stainless steel, particularly useful in root canals with abrupt curvatures to avoid creating steps.
- HYFLEX CM Ni Ti files regain their shape after heat treatment, making them multi-use instruments.
- They respond to excessive resistance by straightening of the spirals, avoiding binding to the walls and increasing fracture resistance.
- This form adaptation can be quickly reversed by heat treatment, returning the instruments to their original shape, increasing resistance to cyclical fatigue, and providing a visual cue for safe continued use.
