Protocol

1. Radiographic Evaluation

Radiographic evaluation and access cavity preparation.

2. Glide Path

Glide path: #10 K-file, negotiate to working length up to #20 K-file.

3. Canal-Size-Dependent File Selection

Narrow canals (K#15 at WL): EK1 (#25/4%) single file. Medium canals (K#20 at WL): EK1 (#25/4%) → EK2 (#25/6%). Wide canals (K#25 at WL): EK2 (#25/6%) → EK3 (#30/4%). Anterior/very wide (K#30 at WL): EK4 (#40/4%, 19mm) single file.

4. Settings & Motion

Continuous rotation: 350 RPM, 4 Ncm per manufacturer PDF. Reciprocation option: 150°/30° or 210°/90°, 350 RPM, 2-4 Ncm.

5. Irrigation

NaOCl irrigation after each file, EDTA final rinse.

6. Obturation

Obturation with resorbable material.

Clinical Tips

•350 RPM, 4 Ncm (continuous) per manufacturer Rotatory Kids PDF
•Reciprocation available: 150°/30° or 210°/90°, 350 RPM, 2-4 Ncm
•Canal-size-dependent protocol — 1-2 files per canal, not a sequential system
•EK1 and EK2 share #25 tip — EK1 (4%) for narrow, EK2 (6%) for medium canals
•EK4 is longer (19mm) for anterior primary teeth with longer roots
•Kit includes 3x EK2 (most frequently used file)

Warnings

⚠Do not force beyond the apex
⚠Do not apply excessive pressure — dentin walls are thin

Clinical Notes

→Alloy: heat-treated NiTi per manufacturer ("NiTi con tratamiento térmico"). Faus-Matoses et al. 2023 characterizes alloy as CM Blue Wire NiTi via EDX analysis — this is a researcher designation, not manufacturer terminology.
→Triangular cross-section per manufacturer ("sección triangular")
→Canal-size-dependent protocol — 1-2 files per canal, not a sequential system
→EK1 and EK2 share #25 tip: EK1 (4%) for narrow, EK2 (6%) for medium canals
→EK4 is longer (19mm) for anterior primary teeth with longer roots
→Compatible with both rotary and reciprocating motion per manufacturer PDF
→Kit includes 3x EK2 (most frequently used file)
→Continuous rotation: 350 RPM, 4 Ncm per manufacturer Rotatory Kids PDF (endogal.es). Note: Faus-Matoses 2023 cites 300 RPM / 2.3 Ncm as 'per manufacturer's instructions' but this contradicts the manufacturer PDF.
