What alloy is EdgeGlidePath made from?

EdgeGlidePath™ is manufactured from FireWire™ Heat-Treated NiTi with fire-wire heat treatment.

How many files are in the EdgeGlidePath sequence?

The EdgeGlidePath™ system includes 1 file: EdgeGlidePath.

What motion type does EdgeGlidePath use?

EdgeGlidePath™ uses continuous rotation motion.

What cases is EdgeGlidePath best for?

EdgeGlidePath™ is best suited for: rotary glide path creation, replacing multiple hand files in glide path step, pairing with EdgeEndo shaping systems.

What speed and torque settings are recommended for EdgeGlidePath?

Recommended settings: 300-500 RPM RPM and 2-5.2 Ncm Ncm across the file sequence (refer to official DFU for full per-file parameters).

Clinical Tips

Replaces up to 8 instruments (#15-35 hand files + #1-3 Gates Glidden) per product page — may simplify and speed up glide path creation

FireWire heat treatment provides flexibility and cyclic fatigue resistance (manufacturer claim)

1mm maximum flute diameter — conservative coronal preparation

Compatible as glide path for EdgeTaper Platinum, EdgeOne Fire, EdgeFile X7, and other rotary/reciprocating systems

Files may appear slightly curved due to heat treatment — this is normal, not a defect (per EU DFU)

Safe unwinding feature — files designed to unwind as safety warning before separation

Used similarly to ProGlider (per product page)

Warnings

Single patient use only — do not reuse (per DFU)
Use only in electric motor and handpiece designed for rotary files
Clockwise rotary motion only — do not use in reciprocating mode (per DFU)
Contains nickel — do not use on patients with known nickel allergy (per EU DFU)
Do not use in canals with very severe and sudden curvatures (per EU DFU)
Clean flutes frequently and check for signs of distortion or wear
Do not force files — use light apical pressure
Non-sterile — requires cleaning and sterilization before patient use (per EU DFU)
