Clinical Tip
Reciproc Blue shapes most canals with a single pre-bendable R25 (25/.08, regressive taper) in the RECIPROC ALL mode of VDW motors; R-Motion uses a thinner-core design (manufacturer data) with sizes from 20/.04 to 50/.04 plus its own Glider, and runs on any motor offering a counter-clockwise reciprocating mode. Choose Reciproc Blue for the studied original with its motor ecosystem, R-Motion for a smaller-taper reciprocating option on a generic motor.
