Clinical Tip

Choose ProTaper Gold for the original progressive-taper technique backed by versioned IFUs, graduated torque ranges and independent bench and clinical studies. EdgeTaper Platinum keeps the familiar SX–F5 naming in FireWire heat-treated NiTi with constant-taper files and a single torque setting; its 2x cyclic-fatigue advantage over ProTaper Gold is manufacturer bench data, not independent evidence.
