RC™
Three-instrument reciprocating set (R25 25/.08, R40 40/.06, R50 50/.05) operated at 250–360 rpm with 2.0–3.0 N·cm torque (per IFU spec table)
| File | Tip | Taper | Motion |
|---|---|---|---|
| R25 | 0.25 | 8% | Reciprocating |
| R40 | 0.40 | 6% | Reciprocating |
| R50 | 0.50 | 5% | Reciprocating |
Shared IFU (File No. RC-SM-001, version B0 2024-10-07) covers all three metallurgy tiers: RC, RC Gold, RC Blue (per IFU title)
IFU step 3 explicitly describes a reciprocating rotating motor; R25 is the typical starting file with optional upsize to R40 or R50 for wider canals (per IFU step-by-step and spec table)
IFU step 8 explicitly covers retreatment: "During the retreatment process, complete the cutting action using the same action as step ③" (per IFU step-by-step)
Per IFU precautions, avoid continuous-rotation reaming on extremely curved canals; small-angle motions (filing, watch-winding, balanced force) are recommended for high-curvature cases (per IFU precautions)

What alloy is RC made from?
Answer
RC™ is manufactured from NiTi (conventional) with conventional heat treatment.
How many files are in the RC sequence?
Answer
The RC™ system includes 3 files: R25, R40, R50.
What motion type does RC use?
Answer
RC™ uses reciprocating motion.
What cases is RC best for?
Answer
RC™ is best suited for: value-tier reciprocating sequence, general shaping in mild–moderate curvature, practices wanting an entry-level RC system.
What speed and torque settings are recommended for RC?
Answer
RC™ uses reciprocating motion with manufacturer-specific motor settings (refer to official DFU for exact parameters).
