Clinical Tip
iRaCe is the conventional electropolished three-file sequence (R1 15/.06, R2 25/.04, R3 30/.04) at 600 RPM / 1.5 Ncm with the iRaCe Plus extension for difficult canals; RACE EVO is its blue heat-treated successor (15/.04, 25/.04, 30/.04) at 800–1000 RPM / 1.5 Ncm, single-use, with up to 2.8x the cyclic-fatigue resistance of RaCe per the manufacturer. Choose RACE EVO for curved canals, iRaCe if you rely on the Plus files for narrow calcified anatomy.
