Clinical Tip

The two original single-file reciprocating concepts. RECIPROC shapes with an M-Wire R25 (25/.08) in a dedicated RECIPROC motor mode, and its IFU allows starting without a glide path in straightforward canals; WaveOne Gold shapes with a gold-treated Primary (25/.07) on WaveOne-approved settings after a glide path to at least #15. Choose RECIPROC for the larger .08 apical taper and glide-path flexibility, WaveOne Gold for the gold-wire flexibility and matched Glider.
