Rotary File

Root canal preparation and retreatment.

BioRace Basic Set is a highly reliable sequence of six instruments.

In the majority of cases, it has been found that, to achieve adequate elimination of bacteria from the root canal, the apical third of the canal should be treated with the minimum given sizes, ISO 35 or 40.

The BioRace sequence has been specially designed to achieve the required apical size without the need for additional steps or files.

By using the BioRace system, the biological aim of the root canal treatment can be attained without compromising efficiency.

• 6 instruments: BR0 25/.08, BR1 15/.05, BR2 25/.04, BR3 25/.06, BR4 35 /.04 and BR5 40/.04
• Lengths: 21, 25, 31 mm
• Recommended speed: 600 rpm
• Torque: 1 Ncm

Glide path

A rotating NiTi instrument with zero taper and the ideal complement to any Endo sequence, it guarantees greater safety when working inside severely curved, narrow or sclerotic canals. BT-Apisafe shapes the apex to the desired dimension while preserving the coronary third.

With its BT-Tip, the BT-Apisafe is effective even at diameters smaller than its nominal diameter; for example, the ISO 30 instrument already works at a diameter of 0.15mm.

It facilitates penetration of irrigation and disinfectant solutions up to the apex, even in curved and narrow canals. Finally, it creates an “apical stop”, permitting effective and reliable obturation.

• Start the procedure with a K-file ISO 15.
• Continue with one or several BT-Apisafe files at working length, until the desired size for the final preparation of the apex is reached.
• Root canal preparation is completed using BT-Race, iRace or BioRace sequences.
• The size of the first shaping instrument should be smaller than that of the last BT-Apisafe used.

• Torque: 1 Ncm

Root canal preparation and retreatment.

In some circumstances, the canal must be retreated. As much of the root filling material as possible must therefor be removed before retreatment itself can begin.

D-Race instruments are used to remove most of the old root-filling material, such as Gutta-Percha, obturators or resin-based material, from the canals.

The D-Race set consists of two NiTi files – DR1 and DR2. The first instrument, DR1, has an active tip for handling the root-filling material and is used in the first millimetres of the coronal and straight part of the canal. Once access is cleared with the DR1, the second instrument, DR2, is used to reach the WL. As this work puts a lot of strain on the instrument, it is intended for single use. The final shape is achieved using the BT-Race, iRace or BioRace sequences.

• 2 instruments: DR1 30/.10, DR2 25/.04
• Lengths: DR1 19 mm, DR2 25 mm
• Speed: DR1 1000 rpm, DR2 600 rpm
• Torque: DR1 1.5 Ncm, DR2 1 Ncm
• DR2: single use

Opening and accessing the canals.

The Gates 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 Gates instruments are oval shaped, with a guiding rounded safety tip and sharp cutting edges.

Root canal preparation and retreatment.

Thanks to their exclusive characteristics, only three iRace NiTi rotary instruments are needed to treat the majority of cases (straight, slightly curved or wide canals). The iRace sequence allows preparation up to a diameter of ISO 30/.04. With its ease of use and manipulation, it results in considerable time savings.

• 3 instruments: R1 15/.06, R2 25/.04 and R3 30/.04
• Lengths: 21, 25, 31 mm
• Recommended speed: 600 rpm
• Torque: 1.5 Ncm

Opening and accessing the canals.

The 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.

With parallel cutting edges and a guiding rounded safety tip, they are more rigid and aggressive than the Gates.

Opening and accessing the canals.

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.

Available in Steel or NiTi, they 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.

Glide Path.

S-Apex is a NiTi rotary instrument with inverted taper, an ideal addition to every Endo sequence, ensuring greater safety in high curvature, narrow or sclerosed canals. If the breaking limit is exceeded, S-Apex, because of its inverted taper (ISO diameter D1 > D2) breaks or bends at its safety point, that is, 16 mm from the tip. The broken part of the file can easily be removed from the canal with tweezers thanks to the exclusive anti-screwing in design which prevents any blockage or permanent fixation.

Glide Path.

Used for the mechanized scouting of high curvature or S-shaped canals, ScoutRace is a sequence of three Race instruments with a taper of .02 and ISO diameters 10, 15 and 20. At first passage instruments, they are used after the working length (WL) has been determined using hand K-Files or an apex locator. Root canal preparation is completed using BT-Race, iRace or BioRace sequences.

• 3 instruments: ISO 10/.02,15/.02 and 20/.02
• Lengths: 21, 25, 31 mm
• Recommended speed: 800 rpm (min. speed: 600 rpm)
• Torque: 1 Ncm

Opening and accessing the canals.

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.
