Clinical Tips
- •VDW quality — German manufacturing
- •S-shaped (double S) cross-section — high flexibility and debris removal
- •Standard Mtwo files used with 16mm working part for pediatric cases
- •File-specific torque values: 10→1.2, 15→1.3, 20→2.1, 25→2.3 Ncm
Warnings
- ⚠No special heat treatment — conventional superelastic NiTi
- ⚠No official VDW product called "Mtwo Baby" — these are standard Mtwo files
Clinical Notes
- →Manufactured by VDW GmbH (Germany) — not a dedicated pediatric product
- →Standard Mtwo files used with 16mm working part for primary teeth
- →S-shaped (double S, 2 cutting edges) cross-section optimizes debris transportation
