Clinical Tip
Companions, not alternatives. XP-endo Shaper shapes: it enters as a 30/.01 and expands to at least a .04 taper at body temperature. XP-endo Finisher cleans: a zero-taper sickle-shaped instrument used after any shaping system once the canal reaches at least ISO 25, reaching walls that shaping files leave untouched. Both run at 800–1000 RPM / 1.0 Ncm; the Finisher R variant serves retreatment.

Key Features
XP-endo Finisher
Zero-taper sickle-shaped cleaning instrument that expands at body temperature to contact canal walls that standard instruments cannot reach
XP-endo Shaper
Expands at body temperature to adapt to canal anatomy (shown as Shaper Plus sequence: Shaper + Finisher)
