Endo Kit BFRT | Removal of broken tips, S-type thread
This kit designed by Dr. Yoshi Terauchi and developed in collaboration with Woodpecker/DTE, has been specifically designed to facilitate canal widening and removal of broken files during endodontic procedures. This kit has been carefully designed to take advantage of each of its tips during the different stages of the process, guaranteeing maximum efficiency and safety.
Description:
1- Widening of the channel to the broken file and flaring of the channel: Use a Gates Glidden No. 3 milling cutter to extend the channel to the broken file and brush it against the outer wall to widen the channel when the curvature of the channel is less than 15 degrees. Use a No. 60/.02 conical NiTi file to extend the channel to the broken file and brush it against the outer wall to widen the channel when the curvature of the channel is greater than 15 degrees.
2- ED88 (Katana-H) and ED89 (Katana-V) tips: Create a 90-degree semi-circular space. These tips are designed to create a thin space between the inner wall
and the broken file, using the flat surface on the broken file from the inner wall, and activating ultrasound when placed in the space.
The depth of the gap should be at least one-third of the length of the broken file. If the curvature is greater than 30 degrees, it is advisable to place a drop of medical-grade silicone oil in the canal to facilitate lubrication and loosening of the broken file. The depth of the gap in this condition should be at least half the length of the broken file.
3- ED87 tip (TFRK-S): Extends peripheral space from 90 degrees to 180 degrees. Used to widen the semicircular space from 90 degrees to 180 degrees until the broken file ‘dances’ (moving from the original space to another) under magnification. In clinical practice, the tip should be used with pecking and pulsing movements. It is advisable not to press it against the channel and to activate the ultrasound to prevent it from breaking due to cyclic fatigue. To widen the lateral space, the tip should be used in an up/down motion to cut dentin, not laterally.
4-Once the preparation is complete, the ED87 ultrasonic tip (TFRK-S) used when the broken file was ‘danced’, should be used to perform ultrasonic extraction attempts. To achieve the extraction of the broken file, the ultrasonic tip must be placed in the space created in the inner wall and activate the ultrasound in a short vertical within the previously prepared space. If the curvature of the channel is 30 degrees or less than 30 degrees, the channel should be filled with 17% EDTA, or if the curvature of the channel is greater than 30 degrees, vegetable oil (e.g., soybean oil) should be used.
