Clinical Tip
EdgeTaper Platinum is an eight-file ProTaper-style sequence in FireWire heat-treated NiTi at 300–500 RPM; One Shape is a single conventional-NiTi 25/.06 file at 350–450 RPM / 2.5 Ncm. Choose EdgeTaper Platinum for a graduated heat-treated sequence in curved canals, One Shape for one-file simplicity in round canals of mild to moderate curvature.
