Neoendo PedoFlex

Dedicated pediatric systemFirst-party docs + literature

Official Orikam material confirms 16 mm NiTi files, sizes 20-45, 4% and 6% tapers, and 350 RPM / 1.5 Ncm. The product page does not name a specific heat-treatment family or cross-section, so those details should not be presented as manufacturer-stated facts.

Protocol

1. Access & Exploration

Prepare access cavity, identify & establish orifice. Explore canal using #10, #15 K-files. Determine working length with radiograph.

2. Shaping (4% core system)

#20 -> #25 -> #30 sequence at 350 RPM, 1.5 Ncm. Use brushing motion: take file passively to light resistance, brush out. Clean flutes after every few strokes.

3. Wider Canals (6% files)

#35, #40, or #45 (6% taper) for wider primary tooth canals requiring additional preparation.

4. Irrigation

Irrigate canal and recapitulate with K-file after each rotary file.

Clinical Tips

•6-file system: 3 core (4%) + 3 supplementary (6%)
•4% taper: #20/#25/#30 (assorted pack). 6% taper: #35/#40/#45 (individual packs)
•16mm short length
•350 RPM, 1.5 Ncm per manufacturer
•Brushing motion technique per manufacturer DFU
•Color coding (4% set): #20=Yellow, #25=Red, #30=Blue

Warnings

⚠Heat treatment applied but type/wire not disclosed by manufacturer (Medicina 2025 confirms HT exists)
⚠Do not force the file — use gentle touch per manufacturer DFU
