Clinical Tip
Two single-file rotary shapers built on different principles. One Shape is conventional NiTi, 25/.06, at 350–450 RPM / 2.5 Ncm with an asymmetric variable cross-section; XP-endo Shaper is MaxWire that enters as a 30/.01 and expands to at least a .04 taper at body temperature, at 800–1000 RPM / 1.0 Ncm, adapting to oval and irregular canals. Choose One Shape for round canals on a standard motor setting, XP-endo Shaper for irregular anatomy.
