File List

Foster

#17 / Variable

Triangular

Orifice opener + Glide path

#28 / 5%

S-shaped

Shaping (narrow/medium canals)

#38 / 5%

S-shaped

Shaping (wide canals)

Protocol

1. Access Opening

Gain access to the pulp chamber.

2. Glide Path

Negotiate canals with #10-15 K-file to working length.

3. Foster File

Use Foster file (#17, variable taper, triangular cross-section) as orifice opener and to create glide path in the apical part while widening the coronal orifice. 250-350 RPM, 2.2-2.6 Ncm.

4. Canal-dependent File Selection

Narrow/medium canals: B1 (#28/.05, S cross-section). Wide canals (distal/palatal): B2 (#38/.05, S cross-section). 250-350 RPM, 2.2-2.6 Ncm.

5. Irrigation

Irrigate with NaOCl after each file. Final rinse with NaOCl + 17% EDTA.

6. Obturation

Dry canal and obturate with resorbable material (Metapex, ZOE-based, or MTA).

Clinical Tips

•250-350 RPM, 2.2-2.6 Ncm torque (per JCHR 2025 review)
•3-file system: Foster (orifice/glide path) + B1 (narrow) + B2 (wide)
•Foster has triangular cross-section; B1 has S cross-section (per manufacturer)
•Canal-type-dependent file selection, not sequential
•Heat-treated NiTi — specific treatment type not disclosed by manufacturer

Warnings

⚠Do not advance beyond the apex — primary tooth root resorption
⚠Monitor torque limits (2.2-2.6 Ncm per review literature)
⚠Primary tooth dentin walls are thin — do not apply excessive pressure
